Review of study.com's public speaking course?

[ndelco]

I've been wondering about this too as I am going to start this course very soon. I noticed that the speeches are supposed to have visual aids like a powerpoint or poster boards but that sounds like a lot of extra work and it only gets you 5 points extra at best. I'm considering submitting my speeches without visual aids and then if I need the extra points that bad after my test then I could just resubmit them. The grading chart technically says that have no visual aids at all will give you 0/5 points on that (visual aids) section but I'm afraid the omitting them completely will make me look lazy and possibly hurt my score on the rest of it too

I did the course when it was only worth 2 credits and only had 1 speech. I did very basic powerpoint slides and they were fine. The slides maybe took me 15 minutes to throw together.
