    User: bangbangsplat

    Instructor comments: some kind of presentation would have been helpful in learning the objectives of the course (PowerPoint, drawing on easel, etc.) It seemed like the instructor is not too familiar with the error codes we were receiving during the Practice Exams.

    Facilities comments: preferred to have the location located in a less busy area of the city
