        <hr /><p class="content"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans';"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #000000;">I liked the course. The instructor was good and explained the important ideas clearly. Sometimes the class was a little fast for me and I could not hear everything clearly. But I was able to understand by reviewing the material on my own. Overall, it was a good learning experience for me.<br /><br />- Zeinabou Maiga</span></span></span><br />
