I received my evaluation summary from the SQL Saturday event in Baton Rouge earlier this month. This was the first event in which I did more than just one session (and back-to-back sessions at that), and I’d just gotten over the flu as well, so I was a little nervous about how I’d present, but all told it worked out well. I’d like to see the “Average” column empty with respect to session content, but was glad to see the majority of instructor ratings in the “Excellent” column. I was fortunate to have Steve Jones in my scripting session, and he’s planning to send me a few notes on things I can do to improve.

The presentation is kind of long. I’m definitely a beginner but even I was able to understand his presentation. Very informative. Great information. |
