This was a workshop I ran online and in person where the group was given a slide deck infested with accessibility issues and asked to identify errors. We then discussed how to make the slides more accessible and also how to make them more inclusive.

Theory of yield in valuation
We need a theory of yield in valuation of real
estate because the capital value is a function of it.
Valuers have to make judgements of yield, and this
is done in the context of the wider investment
market as well as taking account of the risks and
benefits inherent in particular real estate
opportunities.
