I might've rated this wrong as I haven't watched much. But that's because I felt it was a waste of time. I had this impression because of two reasons. First off, in a public speaking course, one would expect the instructor to be a professional public speaker. The instructor however felt like he's vastly overreacting and therefore unconvincing. The second reason is that the material felt like pseudo-science or opinion-based. I could not sense any power point in either the instructor or the material. Again, I might've been unfair in my review because I didn't watch enough, but I thought I should share this to allow people to manage their expectations.
