This was my first course with myCPE. Instructor was very knowledgeable and very effective in her presentation. I wish the slides were generated differently so that they are searchable. I was trying to find a section that had been discussed and could not use the text search function as the pdf was scanned images only. It took too long to find what I was looking for.
