Customer Reviews
Great job David!
These podcasts have been an excellent supplement on top of his study guide and seminar. I enjoy the convenience of the audio format. Keep up the good work David.
Excellent Resource
David Doucette's podcasts are an excellent supplement to his 'Whole Enchilada' study guide and audio study guide. He provides an invaluable service to architects studying for the California Supplemental Exam, with great care and attention to providing current, easy-to-understand and remember information. His podcasts provide a wonderful resource for people who learn audibly as well as for those who are commuting or in other situations where hauling reference materials may be inconvenient. His humorous, easy going and likable personality convey throughout the material, making it a positive learning experience all around. Highly recommended!
New format
