Reviews

"the content was valuable to my setting and skills. The delivery as far as volume and clear pictures varied as course progressed. I could barely hear it even with both settings turned to high volume, and the slides would not remain in full picture mode for better visual connection. Thank you, I really loved the presentation for content."
