Change the material to be more interactive and make the course longer

I did not relate to this teacher. I found it extremally boring and I was really looking forward to this class. I had to study on my own. Which can be a good thing for the certification.

We need more emphasis on labs. If we are required to do labs at home, we need at least a week in between to catch up before the next course.

Was a great experience overall. Instructors did well. More time to do lab work as well as the course information having better more understandable material would need to be improved upon

Would like more hands-on

A general overview of security-related hardware, software, and concepts.

Do NOT change the materials in between course, everything me just learned was apparently change by the time we got to the last course. This organization needs to sit down and do an overhaul of the whole course and the labs to make it a way better experience than what it was, Some of the people were paying out of pocket and it feels like this organization was doing a bare minimum job of providing these courses.

I feel that Security + was the most important cert for us to prepare for, I don't feel like two weeks was enough time to go through all the material. Also, super disappointed that the instructor we had for most of our learning at ACI Learning was not our instructor for what I feel was the most important week for this class, the last week of sec +. Chris still did a great job at helping us this last week but still that anxiety of switching teachers who have different styles of teaching the very last week of sec + was not what I was expecting

The course would have better served the students by better preparing them to take the certification. I had different expectation coming into the course. It looks like my next two classes are going to be the same -- wasted time doing lab and not knowing what the certification questions are going to look like or how to prepare for it. I think I would have been better off spending my time downloading the past certification questions and studying them instead of spending 4hours in class everyday and countless hours trying to make the lab work (virtual machine are terribly configured and too slow to by effective as a learning tool).

As instructors teach the course, if they find errors in the slides, be able to submit the error to be fixed immediately. Maybe this is in place already, I didn't hear the instructor say anything about it, just seems odd there would be errors in the slides if these courses are being actively taught. Have closed book tests daily for each module we cover. The closed book can be on the honor policy, most people would honor it to ensure they are learning what was taught.
