Thanks for attending the 5th-week crypto course and for your effort in doing the hom work task.

Feedback/suggestions/corrections
It's a good tutorial though it was still lacking in some information. For example how to add other ERC20 tokens such as COMP, UNi, Maker in the Meta Mask wallet. How to deposit and withdraw Ether.
