No realice las tareas ni participe en los foros. Leí todo el material. El profesor me pareció muy claro en sus explicaciones.
En cuanto al curso no cumplió con mis expectativas porque tiene mucha información (2 unidades) sobre el teñido del material y muy poco sobre el trenzado geométrico (1 unidad escasa)
