This video was very well done. I appreciated the humor in the script and the insistence towards working the practice scenarios. I found the video very informative and the resources thorough. One area for improvement from my perspective would be to allow time to reveal the answers on the practice calculations either after each calculation or at the end of the video. I found myself wondering if I was moving in the right direction with my answers. But this might have been addressed in the instructional and I might have just missed the explanation. Great course!
