The relevance to my teaching area was great. I could certainly use the skills attained today in my classroom practice.
I knew much of the content presented today already. Pace was rather slow.
Needs more structure. Little boring, too much talking. No resources. I liked the class size though, good for extra help.
Class size fantastic! However not enough resources - more srtucture needed. Very approachable, very nice presenter.
