I like the structure, it seems as if you are being taken by the hand from one stage to another. Also, the animations really brought the video to life. The course is informative, the issues are comprehensively covered, complex terms are explained, the vocabulary is simple and clear. And most importantly, each chapter seems to make you want to explore the issue even deeper.
