It would be very helpful to have access to the slides from the presentation and the workpapers he kept referencing throughout the video

Instructor was obviously knowledgeable, but program wasn't organized or presented in a way to be practical or beneficial. 8 hours of just facts without any strategic emphasis, frameworks, or even an agenda. Downloaded slides do not match what was presented.
