4.6 out of 5 stars
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?
It would be nice to have the materials available at no extra cost printed for those who prefer that. I attended a good portion of the conference, and finished the rest on line. But I still prefer written materials to go along, and don't like having to spend an extra $50 for printed materials when the course fee is already relatively high. Thanks.
Speaker introductions should be kept to a minimum, particularly for panels of more than one speaker.
More trial and discovery tactics; SOAH litigation. Panels from both sides of the docket. Professional licensing and regulation related litigation strategies, tactics, pitfalls, and Trojan Horses.
For the on-line course, there should be a way for a viewer to resume watching a session at the point where the viewer stopped watching the session. I was about 47 minutes into an hour-long session when I accidently closed the Internet connection. When I logged back in, I had to start from the beginning of the session rather than being able to resume at minutes 47.
Great course (as always). I really enjoyed the speakers this year and found the topics to be relevant and interesting.
