The first half of this course was interesting and held my interest. The instructor did warn the second half would only be appreciated by those interested in regulations. It was very dry.

The presenter clearly loves this topic and provides interesting and engaging examples; alas, he does mis-pronounce Oregon "or-ah-gone".

The Oregon part was basically just a re-reading of the rules so not very engaging.
