It's hard to choose the most valuable element. Among the biggest pluses: an environment ready for running on a virtual machine as well as locally, with multiple variants, partially tailored to our expectations, extensive theoretical and practical knowledge from the instructor presented in an accessible way, openness to questions and returning with answers the next day if something was unclear, very nice preparation of the Miro board.
