Something went wrong, please try again later.
I guess I read this brief wrong, as I assumed the resource would be suitable for reviewing named mechanisms. Unfortunately, not one mechanisms was named. The resource explains 'about mechanisms' such as meaning of curly arrows, where to draw them etc, content which could easily be explained while teaching the actual mechanisms. Was it worth the money-I think this resource is severely overpriced.
