The course did teach me about what a Legal Secretary does and the skills needed. However, it gives little examples (if any) and leaves you with questions on some examples shown (such as in the way to sort names). Additionally, the course in general is hard to follow. The slides sometimes change while the speaker is still speaking about the previous slide, which is highly distracting. The speaker feels like she is just speaking from a text in front of her and not referring to the slides. It makes her sound robotic and unnatural.

I did not learn anything new. I should have taken this coarse before I took intro to Legal concepts. This was informative, however it wasn't what I needed. However, this would be a good recommended introduction class.
