What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but Section 4 (P&Z and BOA) was painful to listen to. The presenter didn't seem prepared and was lacking in public speaking skills.
