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?
Nice presenters/presentations; having it available online was great, but some of the audio could have been higher quality, though. Thanks!
It would have been nice if there was a video presentation, as it is difficult to sit and merely listen.
Best I have listened to in several years
