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?

This course is always excellent

Excellent content and presenters. I also really like the eConference option so I could watch at my convenience.

Comprehensive

Wide variety of topics was appreciated

I found most of the course interesting and informative, particularly the topics regarding agency changes of ALJ findings and conclusions, as well as the SOAH cross-exam topic and the Judicial panel. Just me but I didn't find the agency spotlight or topic regarding health professional regulation to be particularly useful.
