DEBRIEF
We think it is a very good PowerPoint that explains the concepts clearly. Something we could have improved would be we could have used more examples and be more specific.
You have put together a thorough assignment here. I really like how you added voice to your slides. When the site loaded, it the audio began without a click. Awesome! I did notice that to get to the next slide, the reader does have to advance the slides but that is expected. You explained the concepts simply and completely. Great work!
