Very good session with Jill! She was very confident and knowledgeable in PPT which made the session very engaging and useful! Would recommend this course, maybe not for people who know a lot of about PPT as some of the tricks I already knew but it was a good refresher.

It was very informative. I don't feel like I'll remeber alot though, so hopefully the PDF and shortcuts are self explanatory enough that I can repeat the steps later.

Learned lots of valuable information which I will be applying to my presentations. Need a bit of practice as I sometimes fall behind (but that's on me - old age). Thankfully there's a manual and I can re-sit. Thanks for being patient and noticing expressions (when confused :)
