My 2010 report card

One thing that I look forward to is the evaluations from my classes.  Microsoft utilizes Metrics That Matter to allow students to provide feedback about the course, content, training provider and yours truly.  Below is the summary data of my performance as compared to other MCTs for 2010.  As you can all see below, I am well above average.

Statistically speaking, that is a 96% approval from my students.

Student comments from 2010:
“Jason has presented classes I have attended in the past and he is a good instructor and knows his material well.”

“I don't know how he could have improved. He really was great at providing examples, and his understanding was excellent.”

“If Jason doesn't know the answer to any of my questions he will find out and I will get "the email". I am always happy with his answers.”

“I appreciated Jason's control in a trying environment. He was able to walk us through keeping the Hyper-V environment working for these labs. Jason also brought real world examples to each of the modules to explain many of the concepts.”

“Jason was an excellent instructor.”

“Excellent instructor and very knowledgeable!”

“He did extremely well. One of the better instructors that I've taken classes from.”

“Listened, responded, tried to involve the group. Researched questions relating to the topics of the class. Involved teaching style.”

“Very pleased with the instructors knowledge and presentation skills. I felt that his ability to provide real life examples allowed me to learn more about this subject, opposed to just standing up there and giving a power point presentation. Even though this was only a 3 day course, the instructor was very personable and very willing to help or find a solution to a question.”

“Jason did a great job. He was very helpful and you can tell he really loves his job.”

“Did a great job!”

“Excellent, as usual”

“He knows his stuff and was able to engage in a conversation/discussion as needed for clarification.”

“Great Instructor.”

“Maybe the best instructor I have ever had.”

“Very good teach style. Highly recommend.”

“One of the only issues I had with this course was that it was not a server 2008 R2 environment. Jason was able to help me overcome this by stating how you would do a task in both R1 and R2 scenarios.”

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping.
