This was a good course that fully met the objectives, i.e. to understand the concept of accessibility in its entirety and to come away with the best practices to adopt in order to be as accessible as possible when designing and maintaining a website. Thank you for your time.

Redundant exercises, waste of time finding the site that deals with the specific issues. Especially with connection problems. The speaker could give us a site that already has the issues and it would be interesting to see if we find the same problems.
