“I was most impressed by the quality of presenters. Both Tom Wescott and Barb Schrage were extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter and very skilled at teaching to a diverse group of students. I was impressed that they prioritized the time well, moving quickly over some topics to focus our time and energy on the highest value-added topics. I was very happy to find that both were very approachable when I had specific questions and concerns. I could easily see how to use…what was taught on my very next project. My group will start to realize the benefits of the training very soon.”
