I rarely give a low rating, but I simply did not enjoy this presentation. It might have been better 10 years ago, but I don’t feel like I learned anything new (he referenced TAKS). He mostly read from the slides, which was not very engaging, and one part of the presentation bothered me on a personal level and I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy the rest of the presentation.
