Hi Margaret,
I think your points are quite valid. I agree that the course could have been condensed and still retained the essential info. Some of the tricks are rehashes of stuff from other courses. I didn't get much from the additional CD's. I enjoyed the section on the ABC List and I will play more with analograffiti to see what I get out of it. It is not likely that I will get much out of the other tricks. The piggy bank time idea is good but I don't see myself using a VCR in the suggested manner. Also, I was a bit disappointed with the sales pitches throughout the recordings. Still evaluating.
