I get that they're likely on a budget and or possibly a time restraint or whatever, but dividing such education up into 2 super long days like that seems like incredibly poor planning and execution of a program that seems rather important. You would think they would take into account that people w MI would be taking the class and that we sometimes need more time to absorb information. You know, not because we're stupid or anything, but because our brains sometimes process information differently, or we have ADD or are easily prone to stress/anxiety and moving through so much information at such a fast pace without giving enough time for it to sink in or to review it and really get a grasp on it could trigger said stress/anxiety.

Reminds me of the CPR class I took last year. I don't really remember a damn thing because we blew through so much info so fast. Though I am certified until next year (I think), I would not be able to help much if needed.

I hope you have better luck than I at retaining the information being hurled at you. If anything I would say, since you get to keep the notes and everything, that once the program is over - look over it in bits and pieces a little bit at a time over the next few weeks or so... maybe that will help (?)

Best of luck on Day 2!
