Going through the lab for the MAC OS X, there was no step that had poor wording or that I could not understand. Each and every step was explained in a way that anyone even the one who is new to information technology can easily understand what is being said.
One thing that I would improve in this lab is more explanation. The lab did not explain some of the features. The lab only mentions them in a light note. For easy understanding, such features should be explained more clearly.
