1. The course content is good, Video and audio clarity excellent. Tiwari Sir knowledge is excellent and delivered the content which is easy to grasp.

2. Live session is good and we could make it better by webinar. Questions can be taken advance and last 5-10min additional questions can be taken.

3. Discussion forums are good but I see can be made it effective, Collectively we need find a way here.
