Reviews
JOHN WAS GREAT INSTRUCTOR
John was very willing to explain things over and over in different ways until we understood the concept.
The class was very informative and I was able to pick up all the topics fairly easily.
The instructor demonstrated excellent delivery skills throughout the course. I particularly appreciated the instructor's patience and understanding, as well as his adeptness in addressing questions.
Well layed out. examples easy to follow and understand. With the lab exercises, it was great to have the expected results and solutions to reference for this type of course.
