el curso es bastante bueno, ya la parte de imprimir e iterar pensar, modelar todo ya fue un tanto cansador por lo que no pude realizar totalmente el curso, si no mas bien solo visualizarlo para aprender algo, tambien se siente la ausencia sincrónica, nadie me respondió ninguna consulta, si no meses después.
