Reviews
- Both speakers explained their topics fairly well.Review by Shannon

Both speakers explained their topics fairly well, but Mr. Mossʻs seemed better organized. The camera never allowed us to see more than 1/4 of the power point screen after the first 5 minutes of Mr. Greggʻs talk...even when he told us to read the paragraph he had on the screen!!

My biggest disappointment was not being able to watch the presentations. Instead you have to read the powerpoint slides and information. The information was great and helpful. (Posted on 10/27/2019)Rating - GREATReview by Diane Ellsworth

I thought the information was really informative and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that my computer wouldn't let me watch the presentations. I could tell that they were good by the slides and I hope that this issue is resolved so I can watch them soon.Rating
No animals were hurt in this review but I did pull some hair out, trying to get my computer to work and trying to read the small print of the power-point slides! (Posted on 9/3/2018)
