PASS 2009 Session Evaluations

I was eagerly waiting to look at the session evaluation data after my presentation at PASS 2009 Summit (Seattle, WA) in November 2009. I had written a detailed post sharing my experience at PASS 2009 some time back. You can find the post here: http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/jacob/archive/2009/11/22/summary-of-my-experience-at-pass-2009-summit.aspx

XML Schema Collections

My presentation was on SQL Server XML Schema Collections where we discussed XSD and XML Schema Collections in detail. We discussed the basics of XML Schema Collections, saw a number of demos and had an interesting set of questions and answers.

Session Evaluation

Here is the data that I received from PASS Head Quarters recently (for the above session).

Some of the attendees have rated the session at speakerrate.com and here is the rating I received there. (http://speakerrate.com/talks/1679-sql-server-2008-create-powerful-xml-schema-collections-to-validate-your-xml-documents)

  • Delivery: 4.87 out of 5.0
  • Content: 4.93 out of 5.0
  • Overall Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0

I would like to thank every one who attended my session and provided their feedback. Your feedback helps me to identify the areas that I need to focus to make the ‘blue bar’ longer next time :-).

PASS 2009 was a great experience, both as a speaker and as an attendee. It was a great opportunity to learn quite a lot, not only about SQL Server, but also about developing leadership and presentation skills.
