The fact that it was split into 2 separate parts to first help understand the background.

New topic coverage was excellent.

This course broadened my knowledge of accent management. I had not yet found the speaker's significant research background as I have explored working with similar clients. I'm eager to learn more about the screening/diagnostic tool. I'm always trying to see a client's needs in terms of who their communication partners are and how we need to learn to listen as well. Thank you.
