Chris knows the software by heart. This is great, but also a bit problematic. The speed at which he can move through the spreadsheet makes it difficult to follow along. Also particular to Zoom meetings is that it is difficult to follow a small cursor on the screen due to the reduced resolution. Switching to a larger cursor might help with this, but also pausing and indicating where clicks are happening with a highlighted curser would help.
He was good at answering all students questions and sharing tips and tricks in the software. He was good at reading drawing and quickly calculating the dimensions. I hope we had another optional 2hr follow up sessions lets say a week after the class so student practice on a new homework on their own and review the results with the instructor or questions with the instructor.
I appreciate very quick responses and coordination by few TECA staff that I was in contact with including Tod, Isabel, Kathryn. That stood out when I compare my similar experience with BCIT. Instructor had deep industry experience which is a plus.
Deep knowledge of the instructor about buildings and how it translate into using software. He also gave few tips on how be more efficient such as using Bluebeam or Adobe Pro for drawing analysis. Very thorough, but could be bit slowed-down:-)
