Michael was a pretty active and animated instructor
Some of the questions are overly tricky where the focus for me is on understanding the question rather than the substance. The instructor speaks a little too quickly.
The instructor is good. The course material is exhaustive and all efforts are taken to cover all relevant material.
Prof. Donohoe is an excellent teacher and I find his examples useful in learning the concepts.
