I thought that the Access work was pretty cool. I haven't had any experience with Access before so it kept me interested. You made things really clear and concise. I caught on really quickly and actually found myself jumping ahead and trying out new things. I felt like I could have kept up if you had run through the material a bit faster. It may seem a bit nerdy, but I'm strangely intrigued by the "more complicated queries" we will learning.

The second test was pretty fair I thought. It was a lot of material to cover and I found myself furiously making note cards and cramming before at 10:30 on Tuesday morning, but overall, I was very pleased by the test. It covered the material that I thought were the most vital. It wasn't incredibly difficult, but it wasn't easy by any means. It was not a test that required memorization of that discreet footnote at the end of the chapter smashed between a graph and a picture, but neither was it a test that only called for a brief skimming of bold faced words. I felt like I studied very hard for the test and in the process got a very firm grasp on the material. I don't think that I got a truly exceptional grade on the test, but I still was happy with the test. Also, just in general, I really like the set-up of the test.
