Not a 5, as the sound levels in the videos could be improved. In some videos, the initial introduction sound clip is louder than the narrator's voice, which can be a bit annoying.

Possibly make more hands on lab work by splitting up some of the ones here into smaller pieces, that way the student will need to have remembered, or go back again and re-read, their notes or the modules for the answers. This way instead of doing several small things, the repetition of tasks spread out, while a little more time consuming, could help reinforce the lessons learned.
