The content is dense and there’s little opportunity for practical work, as everything has already been done and we don’t get to do the exercises ourselves.

I think it’s a real shame we don’t do more exercises. The exercises have already been done, which means we don’t get a chance to practise (30 minutes of free practice).What’s more, the course is very intensive: lots of features are covered (some better known than others), leaving little time to take in the new material.
