Real world understanding
The in class training was really engaging and relevant to how we work everyday in our teams. Even before finishing the training my team was discussing outside the training how we could apply what we learned.
Having had previous informal Scrum experience, it was great to get the underlying "Why" of it all working together.

One of better classes ever taken
Great balance between slideware and exercises, with an emphasis on exercises (doing vs learning). Some good "Teach from the back of the room" (TBR) concepts utilized. Excellent facilitation and delivery by the instructor. Good quality in both slides and workbooks.

The teacher and material was great
The teacher and material was great. I think there may have been too many group excersizes. The class felt like it could have been done in 1/2 the time if they were taken out. I don't think taking them all out would be a good idea, but I am not sure it needs all of them. Perhaps some of them could just be whole class discussions.
