Great class, however when I take these classes I hope to use the information to help train my managers. They need more detail.

This is the first time ever I think that I would say I was disappointed in an Aurora training. The presenter was not very good and had a hard time managing the time allotted. We were 45 minutes in on a 90 minute webcast and she was only on slide 18 of 52. In a few places it seemed like she was giggling (like something was going on in the background). The material was pretty elementary and very redundant. I think stating in the course description who the intended audience is may have been helpful.

I have asked questions that don't receive an answer and if there are a lot of questions that don't get answered, maybe send them with responses to the attendees.
