Best	Worst
Was informative, delivered well and finished on time. Knowledgeable teacher.	Need to kill trees! That's right, printed handouts, feedback sheets, etc!!!
The first half with the overviews. Overall: Good job	Practical examples hard to follow because of some software problems (ie XML Spy didn't work).
The course seemed to cover alot of areas related to XML. The walk-through examples were great. Thanks.	Maybe it would have been better if we had gotten handouts.
Liked the info on background history of XML.	Could use structured lab exercises in a handout, therefore we can do here and try later in our own spare time.
Good discussion on DTD. Hands-on exercise is useful.	Should allow more time on XML Schema and APIs.
Creation of the XML code and verification with the DTD.	Writing our own XML Schema.
Well-prepared documents. Well-organized tutorial schedule.	Few samples.
DTD! Excellent intro. XML intro and related topics including SGML, HTML, ...	Would like to see more on: XML Schemas and metadata, XML Namespaces, etc...
