ACI Learning Reviews

This is a boot camp so it is expected coming into the program that we will be learning so much in so little time but this makes me commit having the course everyday. Having been in the Army I am used to getting a lot of information in a short period but having instructors that understand this and having a great student community and support will take me through this program.

I do think the overall course was fine but I do think it is based to much theory and not enough "rubber meets the road" kind of instruction. The instructor was great but the course defiantly needs more real world wiggle room in real world use and application.

I really enjoyed working with Lee. He made the material much more engaging than other classes I've had taken covering the same topics. He used a lot of real world examples and suggested many useful resources to explore topics further.

Very fast paced

Even though the course covers a lot of material it is laid out in a very convenient way especially with the extra seminars after class.

The slides could be updated

This course needs probably another week to help explain the nuances; for instance, there were some questions on the exam that I was very underprepared for, and that's not an instructor problem - that's a course content, or lack thereof, problem. If the exam is going to go in to extreme depths that force one to remember what processor needs what kind of connector and that was barely covered during instruction, then the instruction should cover it. Additionally, the mentorship program hours were not conducive to my success whatsoever...I felt like I was possibly going to fail the exam because I had to be at work when the mentors were available. Thankfully I accomplished success on my own but it was very nerve-wracking when I pressed the submit button on the exam.

Way too many labs!

Fast paced and truly expected. The way to get into the course content was horrible. Couldn't download and reading on a computer is VERY difficult. I didn't like that part of it.

Time was tight for the amount of information, that was being introduced and discussed. Definitely requires offline commitment to fully grasp the information.
