    The course was very good until the last third, where you simply provide full pages of text with a clock running. This was very disappointing. All Lines was one of the more expensive courses I looked at, and I decided to use it, (A) because of the lifetime access, but (B) because I presumed it was higher quality. It really isn’t that much work for you guys to used the exiting text to create the remaning slides, quizzes, and have someone record them.
