The instructor blathers incessantly about anecdotal life experiences more than focusing on teaching the class. At several points during the class, several students requested that he adjust his format due to uncontrollable circumstances. The instructor said he would, then promptly did not. Case in point was when our VMs were not functioning correctly. The class had requested that he do the lab so we could watch and get an idea as we were unable to. The instructor told us right after lunch break we will review it...however, he just went right into the next section. Would recommend the course, not the instructor.

Great Instructor, very very POOR Lab environment, There is NO clear instruction about Lab, Class material does not match Lab instruction. In class material showed where to find files but the file does not exist at all. There is NO STEPbySTEP Lab instruction. Student went to Google it and find Lab manual which similar with this class. Please include stepbystep Lab instruction for class and do some quality controls for class / lab instruction.

This was a good course that gave me more in depth knowledge of PowerShell Scripting. I wish the labs had been a bit more stepbystep instead of having to go back and forth from the book to the VM but overall the course was great.
