Typo in the "Ask 3" question. While it doesn't make the question more difficult, the lack of attention to detail is what this course is marginally attempting to influence. Ironic at best, sloppy at worst. Other examples are also present in the materials. This presentations needs more proofreading to enable maximum success for the target audience to connect with the material properly.

She covered a lot of information in a short time, but her slides and lecture were well-coordinated, so it was possible to stop the lecture, review the slides (and handouts) then proceed with the lecture with a good understanding of the concepts that were being conveyed. Excellent handouts. This is one course I firmly believe every health professional should watch.
