Es muy fácil para comprender todos los conceptos y procesos. Me gusta porque te invita a crear tu propio naming de una manera muy dinámica y sobre todo muestra varios caminos para llegar al nombre ideal :)

El profesor claramente domina el tema de naming, pero sentí que no logró transmitir su conocimiento de manera efectiva. Aunque el contenido estaba ahí, no se profundizó en muchos temas, lo que me dificultó conectar con el curso. Pareció que faltaba algo en su forma de enseñar para que los conceptos realmente quedaran claros.
