The speaker goes too fast, often times rambles or his voice trails off as if he is either rushing or self talking. The reflective questions should be given throughout the course not at the end. The questions are not all reflective of the important information in the lesson. It was frustrating and took longer than an hour since I had to go back a few times to rewatch the lesson.
Bronson – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
I really think that takes a different view point in terms of testing a student no matter what category you put them at on the chart
Rosymar – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
The course was not easy to follow/understand. It takes longer than one hour to complete.
