Quality of audio could be better. It seems to me that there are things, such as "housekeeping" items and statements that could be edited out of the audio. Also, a 70 page handout isn't very user ...or printer, friendly. Otherwise it was a good course.

The content materials I was able to read were very relevant to my current position. I wanted to hear Dr. Wyatt's presentation but it didn't work out very well.

Great information; the presenter seemed to present with some difficulty in publicizing appropriate/necessary comments (e.g., questions from listeners) vs unnecessary ones (e.g., when someone doesn't have sounds, compliments, notes from the moderator, etc); her pronunciation was occasionally distracting, but did not take away from the information
