Starting with good content and concepts, the presentation slides were at times too busy and some resources were unavailable, such as the PDF for the Software Requirements Document.

Missing some key templates in this presentation. It was frustrating having the really great lecture, but nothing to download and takeaway for use.

The material and information covered in the course could be covered in a lot less time. The content should be crisp and concise. It is too basic even for beginners should be a little advance.

The course fulfills what it has promised. Very simplistic and basic for a newbie. It could have been better, if there were some more tips along with report formats on allocating resources and time. Thank you. I enjoyed the class.
