Need to update the course content

Overall content and delivery were good. Just that, not able to see the interviews even though it was mentioned several times throughout the course felt like a bitter experience. Rating If it was not mentioned - 4 Rating if it they were provided - 5

I know new topics which rarely discussed in my university

The explanation of the course is simple and easy to consume. It's a theoretical course rather than a practice, so maybe this course is suitable for people who want to get an introduction to DRT.
