Excellent class about the basics of what will be needed to effectively teach the pre-licensing 5 hour course. Since I’m certified to teach the 6 hour course…learning how I can tweak that material and improve on it to teach the 5 hour course is awesome. I’m looking forward to this with great enthusiasm. Kye you are the best!!
Well Hello everyone; Chris Damien here wishing all tremendous success during this course and well after we say our final goodbyes. Class was a blast Tuesday evening and it looks like we’ve got a real lively group which is gonna’ make things fun going forward. Many thanks to you Mr. W for bringing your pertinent insights into the proceedings and keeping things swiftly paced the whole time. Here’s to each of us!…………..cd
Very enthusiastic class. I enjoyed the class. Thank you
Love the animated simulation videos shown during lesson two; both the overhead and driver’s point of view were very helpful in demonstrating the particular scenarios and the inherent risks associated with each of them. Same time split screens of both views would be a cool addition. The two second rule with respect to safe following distances really works; I tested it several times on the way home from class………thx, cd
Class was great like always great interesting topic. Especially on stop signs.
It`s was a very informative class session we had.Looking forward to many more sessions like this.Thanks Kye.
I love the energy and passion has for teaching. He makes you feel like you want to have the Class time extended for a longer period. Kudos!😃
Looking forward to this class.I’m glad to see the outline in reguards to teaching a class.And I’m sure Kye will make this a fun class.
In getting ready for the third class, I find I am looking forward to the night. I am much less intimidated than before this course started. I was apprehensive in the beginning to speak in front of 22 people. With Kye being so encouraging and positive, I’m beginning to think I can handle this 🙂
Very much looking for the next class. Kye seems very well versed at the subjects that are discussed.
I really like the question and answer class. It helped me some answers that I was looking for. I’m looking forward to being at class tonight, but will definitely miss going. Kye has been such awesome teacher and a wonderful human being. Much continued success to him.
I attended a class last night about driving and drinking classes ,there are so many things to learn from those classes . Kye is wonderful teacher , I feel like chatting with my friend instead of I am in the classroom .
We learned about the dangers of drinking and driving, it is important to always drive safe and wear seat belts. The class is very interesting.
Some excellent presentations tonight, our third, as we build upon previous work…
Crazy that this was the first class and we did not know what to expect, now we have come so far, awesome progress!
