I don’t want to sound like a kiss-up, but I figured with my employer ponying up all that money for me to be there, I’d better get whatever usefulness I could out of the class, or at least try as hard as I could if I didn’t get anything.

I know one group of five were extremely knowledgeable, and I could tell from their early questions they were fishing to see whether the instructor really knew her stuff, or if she was regurgitating propaganda. They didn’t come back from the first break Tuesday morning.

i used to give courses (useful ones i thought). generally, a small percentage of the participants were ‘tourists’ on holiday from their day jobs.

they were easy to spot; last row, glazed eyes, slack jawed 🙂

didnt bother me, as long as they didnt get in the way of those who came to learn.

Tim.
