    I think that this initiation course was really engaging and easy to follow. The instructions were clear and the documents, which are part of the course's material, were ideal for the course's purpose overall. Besides, the videos gave detailed and clear information despite the talker working quickly with Excel. By this I mean that, even though the videos explained the details in 2 or 3 minutes, which is not much time, they do it in a way that allows us learners to not get lost in the process. I enjoyed this course.
