Comments

“Engaging, interactive approach, and practical delivery of course materials. The task work was very appropriate.”

“The content was really specific and covered an area that my degree hasn’t covered, extremely valuable to my PhD. I could have attended a second day expanding on the exercises, it was so beneficial!”

“Good overview and opportunity to think about my own research.”
