The instructor should use the same language of instruction with what is displayed. It makes life easier for the earner. In this case, the instructor used Spanish display but the language of instruction was English. The instructor should please use English display complementarily.

He explains items of a topic with various combinations, so we get a more comprehensive picture of the topic. But I can see this might be a problem for someone very new to this topic. I already have some knowledge of these topics so this presentation is perfect for me
