Pros & Cons

Pros Cons

Clear and simple explanations: Users appreciate the instructor's ability to explain complex concepts in a straightforward manner. One user specifically mentions that the way of explanation is very clear.
Improved understanding: Several users express their gratitude for gaining a better understanding of soil engineering principles through the course. One user even mentions that they were able to grasp the concept in just 8 minutes of explanation, which they couldn't understand in a whole semester of a similar class.

Limited topics covered: Some users express their desire for the course to cover additional topics, such as consolidated and over consolidated soils, embedded RW principal, and the calculation of bearing capacity for footings. This suggests that the course may not provide a comprehensive overview of all relevant subjects.
Lack of practical examples: While the course is praised for its clear explanations, one user requests more practical examples to further enhance their understanding. This indicates that the course may benefit from incorporating more real-life scenarios to illustrate the concepts being taught.
