she went too fast through the slides: either put less info in the course or extend the course by an hour and go more in depth into each slide

i believe ms.barnett is highly qualified and knowledgeable. however she went through the slides so quickly , plus spoke so fast that it was hard to follow. i benefitted more out of reading her manual for the course during and after her presentation.
