Dr. King, I was thrilled to learn about video sharing for students to view as models for research and for seeing professionals in action as Dr.Gura explains. Thank you. Great informative stuff.

Hi Frida
I am pleased this was a helpful episode for you to learn from. Learners gain a great deal from seeing professionals and experts at work - they do not really have a concept other than Hollywood otherwise!
Isn't it great to be able to listen to these episodes with the convenience of the web.
Best
