Module 4, Section 11.1, slide 33:
is missing caption notes starting at the 2 min 13 sec mark.
Completion also sometimes doesn’t register where you will have to re-click through the slides mutliple times until it updates. I have had both slides and a quiz not register as being completed after going through a module. On some occasions, the courses will buffer/load excessively and you will be prompted to put in your login information again before the course will load, when ordinarily it would not ask for it. Please note that these problems are mostly site issues as opposed to the course itself.
