어쩌면 학습에 더 많은 연습이 더 나을 수도 있지만 시간이 너무 짧았습니다.

-Knowledge of the teacher in the subject was really good. He was able to explain very nicely and was able to answer all the questions at that moment. -To be able to know what all the tool is capable of was really good. -The structure he showed, like using scenarios and traceability would be really helpful in my day-to-day work.

The theory felt quite complete, we handled all important subjects. It was very nice we could zoom in on our use-case Achievements, which helped us with understanding the theory.
