Suppose the instructor had enough time, like four weeks. We will be better off and ready for the real exam.

This is my 5th class with leaderquest and 4th with comptia materials. It has become clear to me that a better use of the materials could be achieved if a day could be allocated for each topic in a course of instruction. Sec+ has 21 topics and we only had time to get through all 21 topics in 10 days by sticking to the slides and lecture. If 21 days were alotted for 21 topics then each day an instructor could guide students through the slides, the related flash cards, quizzes and associated labs BEFORE moving on to the next topic. With the current, accelerated requirements, we might as well all be watching youtube videos which we could get for free. As a student, I am not getting as much out of the current experience as I could if we had more time to spend on each topic and actually learn the material instead of being familiar with it.

The course material in Comptia took way more time then was listed on the course overview. I spent all day trying to catch up on materials and labs and I am still not at 100%

This was too much information and homework jammed into a small amount of time. It needs to be looked at to be more appropriate for working parents.

Security+ has a lot of information. It's too big to crammed into a two week course. I would need a month of class time to hopefully retain the information.

There was entirely too much information to cover in 2 weeks. Also, the interruptions of career services cut our learning time very short. Would recommend having career services come in during non-class time.

The reason I said no about the allotted time is due to the the current situation and hands on could really help with job confidence. We the students are going to have to really utilize the training tools provide to get where we master the information we received. The additional support is vital. This is just the beginning for adults in the new career field.

There is a lot of information to be digested in this course over the span of two weeks. Going through the notes I'm sure that if given the appropriate amount of time there is plenty of material to aid in getting the Security + cert. I really appreciate my instructor for pacing the class and doing a great job conveying all the necessary information going into my certification.

This course needs additional time to be taught; the amount of time given for this course is not sufficient. The amount of homework is unrealistic. Teaching a course in the amount given and with the homework amount is ultimately leading to someone's failure in this course.
