I liked the break outs and the chance to work with my peers taking the course. I also liked the small group we had although I understand this is not the norm

Marek was AWESOME. And I insist... he really was awesome. His level of knowledge, enthusiasm, organisation... he really was well prepared and in-control of the course material. I loved he did demonstrations instead of diagrams... it was a lot more interactive, and we could answer questions related to the situation we were seeing.

I liked being able to ad-hoc explore different solutions to needs we have, so the general lessons were easily switched up to specialize for our needs.
