The information in this module was very well put together. I liked the clarity of the information presented and above all the section involving the student in practical tasks, or hypothetical solutions, helping to better understand the concepts read. Although I prefer face-to-face teaching because I like dialogue, this module was a good starting point for the other modules, which I can't wait to explore.
