Hooked on CLE: July 2020
Presentations were all good; some presenters seem more comfortable with broadcasting from home than others, but all did a good job and showed enthusiasm for the material.
The Writing course was excellent.
Telemedicine speaker was excellent, but she should learn the dates of the Civil War.
I had a lot of problems with playing parts of the course. So much so, that I did not complete part 4 as it would not play and I tried over several days.
Very good information and relevant.
