It would have been nice for the instructor to tailor make the course for this class. Most if not all of the people attending the course were more interested in the "making forms" aspect of the course and not the "printing" part. He seemed to be having an off day, and for that I felt bad for him. However, he could have picked up on the fact we were all interested in learning more about forms and offer to spend more time there instead. His knowledge of the Adobe Forms was average and I was hoping for someone more experienced to teach the course. I still got quite a bit out of the course and was happy I went....even though I may not attend another course there.

Since I signed up for an "Acrobat" class, I thought that the time spent on developing a form in "Live Cycle" was not appropriate. Most of us in the class did not have this software at our home/office. Plus, too much time was spent on colour separations and pre-press and nobody was there to learn this. The malfunctions or misplacement of the instructor's computer/folders was not worked out before the class which, if they had been, could have improved the class experience. On the positive side, the class did open my eyes to what you could do with forms.
