Good course providing top level technical info along with financial aspects. Question 16 in the was test graded as wrong even though the selected answer matches the correct answer description (this is a Test flaw that needs to be corrected). Otherwise pretty decent overview.

Question 16 has been corrected. Thanks for the feedback.
