### Live Demo
Applicants should present their favorite tool that they used from the previous course that they've taken with. This should be presented through slides.

* **Additional notes:**
* Non-linear train of thought. Hard to follow :-1:
* Seems very knowledgable of the content, however, from a student's perspective, it is hard to follow and digest the information :-1:
* :+1: Offered in-depth Prevention techniques of CSUF and IDOR
* Speaking voice could be more enthusiatic :bulb:

**Overall Notes**
- Very shy and quiet. I had to often pry information out of him to further understand his prior experiences and current motivation for applying to be a TF. Most of his answers were short and not substantial. I do see Jon doing well in a teaching setting, yet I understand that his technical skills in the Cyber domain are very strong.
* **Verdict:** Fail
