This course was for me a great overview of FIGMA!!! Strongest points: -Well structured and explained. -It gives and builds the knowledge step-by-step. - Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 were for me the best, explained in depth. For improvement: -The course was recorded in a previous version of Figma, this sometimes causes frustration as some features are in other areas of interface now, but everything is still there just be patient.
