I've never given 1 star, but the first thing you'll have to do will be providing them your phone number, address and other personal information - totally irrelevant for the course just to access the book and material. I feel that they don't want to teach you (it's all about you reading their book and then doing quizzes the first week). I decided to unroll. Learn to upload PDF material like other courses do. Personal info should not be requested.

I got financial aid on this course but I'm not entirely sure if it was worth paying for. I learned all of this stuff when I was in college.
