Automating Excel Reports Level 4A

Among all the excel classes I have taken, this is by far the worst. The course can be more adeptly described as "Why Never Use VBA". Course material was ill-prepared, instructor was not helpful and classroom was in a bad set-up. Highly recommend against taking it as it was a total waste of my money and time. Here is a full description of why the course was bad: 1). Class hour was shortened significantly For a 10 - 5 schedule, class officially started at 10:40am and ended at 3:45pm. This is including an one hour lunch break. We had a total of 4 loose hours instead of 6. We started late not only because some students were late, but also because we had to go around the classroom to explain why we were there....I just don't see why this was useful at all as we were just working with our own computer... 2). Instructor was ill-prepared and bad at teaching For a good hour the instructor was sitting in the back, reading the displayed code line by line in a surprising tone as if it was his first time seeing it. Then he went on to conduct a project on his own without explaining any of it, or attempt to get anyone in the class to follow. In fact, no one was trying to follow. We thought he will strop at some point to explain what he was doing, but he didn't. He was also repeating the same material over and over again instead of giving us useful new information. For example we went through the same code about how to get to the bottom of the table at least 5 times. Lastly, he was a soft and slow talker. Think about a full day in a dim-lit computer room and how that may help. 3). Class material was ill-prepared For a six hour course the teaching manual was only 15 pages written in broken language. The instructions were missing key steps from the first project. Then we just got completely lost till the end. None of the writing was helpful or even fully related to the material we were going over. 4). Uncomfortable working environment Class took place in a extremely cold, dark computer room where we were each assigned an old desktop. It was not comfortable at all to spend a full day there.

Great class! Joe was a great teacher! Will definitely go back!
