| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Excellent. Absolutely no problem through the registration to class. Very attentive administrative personnel. |

| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | I didn't think the c shell would be as interesting as korn or bourne but I really got a lot out of the class. |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Very good training materials. Well prepared examples and lab files. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |
| 176064 | 797436 | 4 | We will be able to automat serveral jobs and get daily reports. |

| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |

| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Exactly what I expected from looking over the training brochures and website SUN education section... |
| 176064 | 797436 | 4 | Yes and several caveats were presented. |
| 176063 | 792490 | 3 | The description, I thought was for shell programming which I read as csh, ksh and sh, so I was mildly disappointed. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 3 | the course name is just Shell programming, It needs to be changed to C Shell programming |

| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | David knows his stuff. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | David Slimp is a very good instructor. I think it is very important for instructors to bestow knowledge to their students that goes beyond what is presented it the course material. David has done this. I would like to take another course under his instruction. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | David Slimp did a great job in teaching this class. He deffinitly knows his stuff. |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | It was very obvious that the Instructor had a vast and deep knowledge of all of the subjects taught in the course, and has extensive "real world" experience that relates to examples and practical applications. |
Question 6: Did the instructor manage the training environment to promote learning?
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | Indeed he did. I have already fixed a couple of scripts that I have been having problems with so, I would say I've learned a great deal. |

| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Pace and time very well managed |

Question 7: Were the course materials technically accurate?
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |

| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | right on target. I'll most likely use the training guide as a day-to-day reference |
| 176063 | 792490 | 4 | Less spelling and grammar errors than most classroom texts, but of course, not perfect. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 4 | No comment |
| 176065 | 802447 | 3 | found several errors in book, for example page 8-24 of class book, the leap year If loop mid page is incorrect |

| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | I adore having my own workstation and not having to "share", plus the environment is very learning friendly. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | Model of a "Training Classroom" ...........enough said. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |

| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | As I said, every night I have gone home and fixed problems I've had for months at work. This tells me the course was successful. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | I am very satisfied with this course. I will be able to apply immediately what I have learned. I will be a scipt writing fool. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | The class gave me every thing that I was looking for which was a jump start into the Unix / shell programming world. |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | It was energetically paced, well taught and I'll come out with a huge amount of more practical application and knowledge of the course subject |
Question 10: Would you recommend this course to others?
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | Though I might suggest the korn / bourne class instead since the shells are used more often. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | No comment |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |

| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | I could have been a little more familiar with the editor application and its' capability as it relates to the course subjects. |

| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Great examples which I will continue to use as I keep practicing the course subject and it's content, |
| 176063 | 792490 | 4 | I actually would like to have had more labs to work with. Hands on experience is always better for me than lectures, though David is very good at not putting a class to sleep. |
Question 13: Was the instructor well prepared to deliver this course?
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | David had answers to all our questions and, new the material so well he could even compare what we were learning to other programming shells / languages many of us are familiar with as well. He has on the job experience with what we are learning which is a big help to the training as well as our confidence. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | No comment |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | David Slimp did a great job |

|---|---|---|---|
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | I will be referring to this book many times in the future. I do like the fact that the labs call on knowlege learned in previous chapters. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | No comment |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | I'll most likely use it for day-to-day reference and to re-practice the modules to keep my skills sharp |
| 176063 | 792490 | 4 | I think more examples would be more effective. The example references are pretty limited and don't explore other possibilities. |
Question 15: What was your overall satisfaction with your training experience with Sun Educational Services?
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176063 | 792490 | 5 | The Austin location, at least, really does a great job. |
| 176064 | 797436 | 5 | I enjoyed it. The knowledge I have gained will be used quite a bit in my job. The classroom atmosphere was comfortable both physically and mentally. I have taken classes from other companies and Sun classes are by far superior in content, atmoshere, and equipment. |
| 176065 | 802447 | 5 | this was the first class I have taken outside of college, and it was a great experience |
| 176066 | 812712 | 5 | Fantastic! Didn't want to leave, especially with the great food and people. |
Question 16: General Comment section
| EPCS ID | Registration Number | Answer Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 176065 | 802447 | this was a good class | No comment |
| 176064 | 797436 | Something that might be helpful for future students and myself as well is a class in Programming logic. How to get from point A to point B and the logical process to achieve that end. I have no programming experience at all. A class that teaches a "logical programing process" would be very helpful. | No comment |
| 176066 | 812712 | Great course. Exactly what I needed. I'm looking forward to taking more training in the near future. | No comment |
| 176063 | 792490 | For the record, David Slimp is a great trainer and seems to take interest and pride in being as good at it as he can. I need to focus a lot of my studying efforts on hardware and system functionality, but if I can, I would definitely like to take his Perl class -I can imagine finding effective trainer for programming languages is difficult. | No comment |
