Heartily Thanks to the people behind this course and to the University of Colorado!!! ;)
good course, like the intermittent questions
please revise the links, some don't work
I swear this is the best course I have ever seen , the type of questions and evaluation, the scenario of the scene, every thing is excellent.
A lot to learn but presented very well. Test questions definitely make you think about all you have learned.
