I had Findlay. Her content is kinda unorganized, and there are some contradictions (which isn't optimal when people are learning something for the first time). However, you can chat with her and discuss if you believe something is incorrect and fight for it, and she'll respect that if you can prove your case, she will change things accordingly. It is annoying that has to happen in the first place, though.
