i thought the instructor had a great knowledge base, however, it felt at times that they were reading from a script versus talking in real life during their explanations and examples.

i liked the video showing the therapist actually completing the kettle test with a patient and then how it asks the viewer to rate the results. i also like the poll questions throughout the slides to help check in with the viewer.
