Absolutely love Buck's classes for the detail and the stories.
Buck must spend hundreds of hours researching and putting together one of his courses. His slide deck for each class is by far the most comprehensive and detailed of any course I have ever taken anywhere including my college courses and other more recent courses taken from a variety of programs.
Excellent pace, organization and content; professional presentation
