William Hudson is very knowledgeable, and approaches the course in a conversational, easy-going teaching manner. His calm approach is really helpful for learning! The course itself is also very well structured. Not too long, and not too short. I like that the open-ended questions have 10 points. This encourages the learner to write as much as possible (but without waffling). I try to be as concise as possible.
