El curso me esta gustando en cuestión de contenido. Pero no lo estoy disfrutando ni aprovechando NADA ya que se ve pixelado, con lo que no me entero muy bien como debo hacer los ejercicios que ella va haciendo, ya que no se ve bien exactamente donde entra en los menús y mucho menos que opción selecciona.
Por favor, se podría corregir esto???
