"Excellent use of examples from real-life experiences. Great use
of technology interspersed throughout presentation. Appropriate teaching
to class understanding and background." —S.G.
"Excellent! I especially liked the common sense approach. The exercises
were simple but very powerful. It was good that we did exercises as we
went along. Very relaxing atmosphere." —M.M.
"Hal's extensive experience in the area of Human Factors engineering
is what pushed this course into the excellent(!) range. This field is
not clear-cut, black and white. He recognized the gray and uses his examples
of experiences to help us determine what works best for our situation.".—J.M |
