I very much prefer the other instructor :(

But you might enjoy Getting Started With ES2015 or Introducing ES2015, where it will be explained along with a lot of other cool stuff.

4,698 PointsShould we go through ES2015 course before going through the DOM course? I didn't think it was necessary, but I dont want to not understand what the code is doing if I dont know the newer features of ES2015

231,271 PointsI don't think it's absolutely necessary for this particular course, but if you're not familiar with the newer syntax and functionality at all, you'd probably benefit by taking one of the courses I mentioned at your first opportunity.
