Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The random questions about Aurora's other services were irritating and provided nothing. I've already paid for a year's worth of training. The survey questions wasted my time.

This was VERY helpful but I think this should maybe be a series rather than 1 class. I felt like there was still quite a bit we did not cover. The instructor did a great job making things understandable.
