Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This training was informative. I would be interested in additional " basic" training, then continue into intermediate and then advance training in Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, Power Point, Access, Teams, etc.I hope there will be more "basic" training that may be needed than a 1-hour session can accomplish.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Another 15 minutes would have been good for her to get to questions. The handouts were not really the ones from her presentation. Her presentation slides would be more helpful for reference because that is where she listed the actual items she went over live in Outlook. If she would have at least included a list of the things she showed us how to do in the handouts, that would have been better because at least I could look it up if I did not remember everything she did to get to the various tools she showed. Also, giving some written directions for reference would be helpful instead of just watching her click things & trying to find on my computer while trying to watch her, ex. templates, loop. Or at least links to written directions online. Liked all of her tips & tricks, just need reference for later to be able to implement them.

Although Melissa is personable, I had a hard time following because she went very fast. I will take advantage of the recording to revisit the webinar.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I feel like the class could have been longer, it did feel a little rushed, since there was so much information. I would have liked to delve into things a little more. But presenter was great!

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This speaker was very engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed the parts where we moved away from the PowerPoint and had live demonstrations of the tools. My employer is limiting us to Microsoft Copilot only for work, but I enjoyed learning about the differences between the different AIs and getting ideas for how I might use them outside of work, and much of the advice could be made applicable to Copilot even when it was being mentioned in the context of a different AI.
