    I liked and enjoyed the whole course. I also learned a lot from it. Geoff did a great job explaining the course material in a clear and concise way.

    Thank you very much Geoff for the knowledge you provided during this course and for your patience!

    Geoff was very patient and very knowledgeable.

    After going over the lesson and before going into the labs on our own, it would help to do an instructor led example that closely resembles what the lab entails. The course is too fast paced unless you are already a knowledgeable person which is unlikely.

    It would be helpful if we could copy the syntax code shown on the PDF slides

    The instructor is very knowledgeable and very open to the students suggestions about the training.

    Should have more time to cover the course material.

    Instructor, Geoff, was good - good pace and clearly understandable.

    Either make more workshops that are 'quicker' and cover less concepts, or include better examples of the workshops in the materials and code before it.

    Meeting software was good

    I thought Geoff was a great instructor. I liked the labs that re-enforced the concepts we learned.

    I would have liked to see some more one-on-one breakouts. I also would have liked if the instructor showed more examples, rather than reading examples from the slide. The labs were sometimes more difficult than the examples provided.

    I liked the hand raising aspect. Everything seemed to work really well for the course being all online.

    I thought that Geoff was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He never talked down to any of the students and really took time to go over lab answers and walkthroughs. He also made an effort to really get to know each student.

    Maybe a little more lab time or live examples, and less of the powerpoint slides. But overall the class was very good and learning the basics to PL/SQL

    I thought that the software that was used was very accessible and allowed for smooth for the lessons.

    I liked how wide of a base of knowledge we covered. It really felt like I was able to see and understand all of the basics of PL/SQL and how it interacts with Oracle. Geoff was a good teacher and knew what he was talking about.

    Maybe make the Oracle portal program required to be the same, Geoff was using sql developer I believe and I was using Toad and it got confusing every once in a while when things wouldn\'t line up.

    No.

    Geoff did a great job of explaining the course material in a clear and concise manner. Having the workshops to do really cemented the material after the lessons.

    I felt the pacing of the course was slightly slow for someone such as myself that is more experienced in coding which made it difficult to pay attention for the extended periods in between workshops.

    All of the online software and delivery techniques used were good. I have no recommendations for further improvements for them.

    Geoff is great about answering questions. The materials are great to have.

    I would actively go through examples while typing instead of just going through slides. It should be an exercise similar to the one in the lab. And then have the lab. Then go through the lab correcting errors like we did so we can engage more in the ans

    The online delivery was great, no suggestions for improvement.

    Hands-on examples.

    Specify the target audience better. It was very helpful having coding experience prior to the beginners' course. However, one without prior experience had many difficulties.
