On the technical or advanced concepts, it might be helpful to provide a big picture/overview on what role/how the technical or advanced concepts apply to the overall subject. Might be helpful to do this before covering these concepts as it will be easier to understand when covering them and how it fits in the big picture. (Posted on 2/28/2021)
