"Mr. Calabrese seems knowledgeable. This is not an easy course to teach I think, because of the specific nature of government requirements. I am picking up more with each class I take, and I will try to watch this again to get a more comprehensive knowledge base. I am glad that he is teaching these classes! Thank you!"
