"very well run"
I thought that the training was very well run but there were some areas that were skipped over due to time. it would have been nice if more of the participants interacted in the training. There were only a few of us who ever spoke up so I felt that I would've gotten more out of the training if more people had expressed their opinions. I thought that Ed did a great job of trying to get more active participation but ultimately, it's up to the people to participate.
