Content is good but the delivery of the content doesn’t match with what we are expected to deliver to our students. The presenter should deliver the content the way she wants us to deliver to our students. The presenter looks and sounds tired and bored.

I love all the videos and not just reading. I like the classroom setting and watching it online. It makes the learning easier but seeing the actual class setting helps.
