One-day Hands-on Introduction to XML

Feedback for 2000 March 14

After a one-day introduction to XML on 2000 March 14, students were asked to anonymously note the best and worst aspects of the course.

Summary of best points:

• Well organized.
• Clear.
• Good hands-on.
• Useful.

Summary of worst points:

• Need more time.
• Can't see from attached room.
• Overcrowded.
• Put hands-on exercises in hand-outs.

What we'll do better next time:

• Though little will be trimmed, I'll deemphasize some points.
• We'll keep it to the one training room (without the extra room).
• We'll allow no more students than computers (some snuck in this time).
• I'll add the hands-on exercises to the hand-outs. (I'll email this to all the participants in the in the first class.)

This feedback was incorporated into a second presentation to another group at the same organization. The feedback from the second group reflected these improvements.

Here is the complete set of unedited responses from the first group:
