Yes it has, but the timeline is just too narrow to complete the course. It is pretty intense to expect, especially for someone who is working, to finish it in 4 months

It's going well. Thanks. Got to learn some vital frameworks that I can apply to my unstructured imagination/thoughts & be coherent while talking/presenting ideas.
