A few errors in the lessons, some material was unclear and poorly connected to the worksheets, but overall still very good.I would give a 4.5/5, but 5/5 is reaching too much.

Five Stars, However this is no introductory course, it motivated me to learn electronics through a book by Earl Gates. After learning I managed to complete the course.
