No doubt there are bad students as well as bad instructors, and mall ninjas can be found on both sides of the classroom.TexasGal wrote:It isn't always bad instructors. A person's ability to just walk into a day long class and learn everything in one sitting is limited. Any instructor will tell you it is a challenge to hold the attention of the class for 10 hours no matter how good you are at teaching.
I also wanted to jump in to remind people that DPS doesn't require all 10-15 hours to be delivered in one sitting. It's a popular format but it's not a requirement, and an instructor can split it into 2-3 hour blocks after work if they think that's a better way to teach the material.
