The instructor was put in a situation where he was behind from the beginning. I think the sheer volume of powerpoint slides made it impossible for him to catch up to the course. I benefitted most from the homework material. I especially found the TestOut LabSim exercises to be helpful. I wish we had the opportunity to cover them in class as stated in the syllabus.
Too little time to go over too much material. Extend the courses and actually cover the topics. I know this isn't the instructors fault it is the schools.
The Network + course is fast paced. The learning materials are great. However, there needs to be more explanation for the content. There is a lot of content that I personally felt overwhelmed and could not "put the pieces together", as a new user trying t get the certification. This is not a reflection of my instructor Mr. Bennett as he is great! The course learning plan needs to be revisited by the course designer. For example there were three chapters that were assigned for the students to complete without the instructor presenting the materials in this course. Mr. Bennett caught this and went over these chapters. Great Job to Mr. Bennett!! He is an instructor that really seems to care.
Sean Callinan is a performance-centric instructor. He provides many opportunities for review and refinement as well as made complicated subjects digestible. The provided slides and notes did little in the way of understanding the material in self-study without having an instructor/mentor like Sean expand upon them.
the test had questions that I didn't study for and wording was difficult
It was a very dry course and I think doing it via distance learning made it tougher
This class can be easily be 3 to 4 weeks because there is a lot of material. Many days felt like information overload.
When signing up for this class I was worried about it being online and accelerated. It's been very challenging for me with no experience not sure how I will do moving forward. The labs and lecture seem to be different curriculum's. In labs I have a hard time figuring them out because I've never tried or been shown how to troubleshoot scenarios. Instructor does help when asked to repeat but stuff but so much material needs to be pushed out I'm finding it hard to grasp the curriculum fully.
Overall, it was a good training but some of the portion can be further enhanced as it centrally focus on General IT Controls and Application Controls. Also, I think further discussion before the training to set the course topic, our IT environment, etc. can enhance the learning and topic discussions.
