Unfortunately, I found the explanations on these subjects lacking in clarity and detail. The concepts were not well-articulated, leaving me with more questions than answers. Additionally, the slides used during the presentation were not clear. The content seemed disorganized, and key points were either missing or not highlighted effectively.
