A week of hands on without work interrupting. A few worthwhile tidbits.

You have a lab partner, which could be a real detriment depending on his/her
skills. Covered a lot of topics, all very shallow. Bruce tells you that his
course is NOT enough to pass and he is RIGHT. You must be prepared before you
arrive or the class will not be as useful.

ATM is great. Since this is new in the lab, the depth is not as great as older
technologies. BGP was also at the right level.

No X.25. No voice (heard rumors that it's coming). No depth in any area
(biggest problem, but I don't know how to address - you only have a week).
