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?
This was an excellent course. But, the opt/cpt, perm and I-94 compliance and crimmigration segments were especially good. Learned a great deal!
Would like to see a program on the intersection of humanitarian and employment areas.
This was a conference I attended in 2022 and I found it very valuable for the amount of information that I received in these 2 very compact days.
