I sincerely enjoyed the history of land surveying. I appreciated defining Aliquot legal descriptions and explaining the difference between reading vs. finding. Changing the speakers brought definition to the course. It was very informational!

Clear, precise, articulate narration.  Easy to comprehend.   Reading Legal Descriptions is a tough subject to learn but this one was taught in a manner easy to follow and understand.  Also being able to pause and re-play any of the sections was a welcomed feature.  I would recommend this class to anyone interested in legal descriptions.  Bravo! Two thumbs up!
Beginner Student
I thought all the information shared was valuable. I think the most beneficial for me were the examples and following along to find/ read the legal descriptions and parcels. It was really easy to follow along with the presenter being that legals can look very intimidating.
