Good	Improvements
[Covered expectations.] Slides: 9/10; instruction: 9/10.
[Covered expectations.] Charlie working through answers by doing stylesheets from scratch - showing us the "approach". Instruction: 8/10.	Course material - hard to understand on its own but it may be my lack of experience with HTML. Slides: 6/10.
Very good base for XSL - I learned a lot. I really enjoyed the exercise on XPath. Thank you for the nice course. Slides: 8/10; instruction: 8/10.	[Could use] slightly more information on slides: some were a little too simple. At times we were rushed, but I don't think it's because of instructor. One more day would help this.
[Covered expectations.] Slides: 8/10; instruction: 8/10.	Use some better real-world examples, instead of things like a, b, c, d etc. Maybe use some more unads-on examples.
[Covered expectations.] I enjoyed the class. Slides: 8/10; instruction: 10/10.	Some of the slides looked a little busy, so sometimes it was hard to catch all of the details in a short amount of time.
[Covered expectations.] Very helpful - and surprisingly a bit entertaining (I obviously didn't expect this). Slides: 8/10; instruction: 10/10.	Make it easier to tell the difference between chapters - as well as the exercises.
[Covered expectations] and more. Hands-on eercises really enforced what was being taught. I personally got a lot out of this course and think it was extremely well organized and presented. Slides: 10/10; instruction: 10/10.	Only thing I would have changed - not sure if it would have been possible, though - would be to have the course taught in a room where we wouldn't have to sit in the dark all day.
