Great course. Thank you very much.

AI and Automation in Environmental Hazard Detection

As I mentioned earlier, the mentor’s English was difficult to understand, which made it challenging to follow the training. A possible solution would be to provide participants with a PDF version of the presentation so we could refer to it after the session. Additionally, the mentor never turned on her camera, did not respond to questions, and there was no Q&A session. These factors significantly reduced the quality and effectiveness of the training.
