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?
Thorough, comprehensive, and most of all: understandable. wish I had taken this years ago, but I'm glad I took it now with the recent changes that have been made. I have done numerous guardianships in the past and can see where shortcomings have occurred.
Good course and I like that the papers were included. A similar course focused on minor ad litem in CPS proceedings would be great.
Very helpful and thorough.
