Instructor comments: While I could tell the instructor was very knowledgeable, his instructions were not very clear. He could've done a better job preparing for the class.

Facilities comments: Room was fine. The location of the room could have been better as the dings from the elevator were a bit distractive.

User: TracyPaul

Instructor comments: Very knowledgeable. Diagnosed our programming problems in short order. Could go into the details of 'why', versus only the 'how'.

Facilities comments: Outstanding. The hotel staff did a great job supporting our class.

    Instructor comments: The material was made clear, however I don't agree that she shouldn't have catered towards the people not taking the exam.

    Facilities comments: The facilities were cold and very noisy, I found it hard to concentrate.
