Great content, but the slides were all messed up. I had to edit all the slides before I could use them with my class. There were also a few typos in the PPT.

Resource was a bit frustrating. I could not use the powerpoint on one of my coputers. I was hoping for the Google Slides version, but it is a completely different purchase. Reached out to the seller and was told to purchase the other version. Same materail for an additional cost. Once opened some pictures needed to be moved around in the slides to be viewed and there were a couple of typos.
