I found the content and speakers throughout the course very informative and knowledgeable about their topics. There was plenty of time to go through any queries including use of pods. My only criticism is the timings as it made it hard for me to engage in some sessions. Being from the UK meant this course ran at 2330 - 0130hrs which was a challenge at times. If a separate course could be organised for Europe participants in the future I think this might increase engagement and also maybe the number of interested attendees.
