Comments on the weak points of sessions
  • Ask for questions more often. Should include more about security. How do user permissions get set? Where do you set up users?
  • Wish there was a bit more on .net integration with web pages.
  • was not what the session was meant to do - compare crystal to report services.
  • Involve the audience a little instead of just presenting. It would keep them awake if you asked some questions throughout.
  • some slides had small print, unable to see.
  • The seminar was a sales job for Microsoft. I wanted to hear more about crystal reports.

How could these sessions be improved?

  • do what was advertised
  • a reflective white surface for the projection would keep up with the presentation.
  • larger screen display
  • Get the name of the seminar closer to what is talked about.
