Typically I hesitate to give anyone a perfect score on a presentation like this, because that would indicate that it was "perfect" which leaves no room for improvement not very realistic. But, in this case I feel the instructor did as much as humanly possible to keep the context of the seminar interesting and had VERY good communication techniques that was helpful in learning the concepts as apposed to just remembering the context. Michael does a very, very nice job!! I sincerely wish he would give educational seminars on other divisions of the A.R.E material.
