Presentation Feedback from IT Training Sessions
. "Many thanks to Barry, who excels at delivering training and is always
happy to volunteer his expertise."
. "The way 'Berry' [sic] explained everything in training is awesome and I
really appreciate his efforts."
. "This email is to thank you for letting Barry Chametzky present a TOI
[Transfer Of Information] to us last week on Calendar Server. The TOI
was excellent! Barry is both technically knowledgeable and a skilled
presenter."
. "Barry's style of presentation was clear, moderately paced, and
organized. He also made sure to ask if we had any questions before
moving on to the next topic. His ease of manner in answering our
questions also displayed confidence in the knowledge of this product.
His use of the overhead for slides and actual examples clarified the
material. I also found the handouts valuable in following along with the
discussion and for future reference. Barry has done an excellent job in
giving this calendar server training."
