Very helpful. Easy to navigate. I like I can go back and review. Excellent in presentation
When you go out of a course and start back up, you have to start from the beginning. Many times the column wasn’t working and I would have to close out of it and reopen, sometimes several times. Maybe this was because I was doing it in a cell phone?
You cannot move on to the next one until they say you are done with the current chapter.
Excellent
