Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

While this was supposed to be an essentials course, I found several of the categories to assume that we know the basics about complex subjects, such as project finance and real estate. I feel like they could have looked at things from more of a 10,000 foot level to give me a chance to follow it. Instead I was lost early and took nothing from the presentation. Maybe that's my fault for being uneducated, but was hoping for something simpler.
