Course had good information but instructor did not keep to the printed schedule which is in the course book. He cut 2 of the lunches short by at least 20 minutes one by 30. If you are not from the area which I am not then trying to navigate lunch traffic is problematic. He also veered off topic into long winded stories about his personal work experiences. One per topic would suffice.
