The tests at the end of the lecture could be more focused on conceptual understanding and applications rather than the current quizzes focusing a lot on details but not on the big picture.
Great Intro great course, but had more details on regulation rather than technology and innovation.
The content is mostly showing data and statistics, rather than explaining how things work.
