Several instructors have very messy presentations that they think we know what we are looking at when we dont. All over the price and expected to know already how to write sloppy forms on a paper. Not helpful at all

Complete garbage...items not really presented in relevant details with respect to standard industry practices. What you will learn here is not how things are done on the job.
