The instructor is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge. The production quality of the video with sub-titles is very poor and not upto the mark as the subtitle overlay is coming in the way of the video where the explanation is on going .. this is more evident in the section unit 3. Whenever the instruction are long the subtitle are long and the content is overlay is not proper. In my view this need to be corrected for better quality of productiob.
