Attendee Feedback

“The instructor was incredibly effective - good communication, and good time management, and well-prepared material! I really liked how the instructor “parked” student questions so as to not get off-topic, and then came back with answers at a more appropriate time! No time wasted setting up software!”
“Sometimes plotting our data/results is something that we HAVE TO do, but I’ve just discovered how fun it can be. Rhian was a great teacher and also gave us many external resources to get ideas and improve our skills.”
“Theo was an excellent teacher and the course was very good. Thank you.”
“Mandy was simply incredible. She is very patient, extremely clear and she really gets the questions asked from her, immediately and spot on. I have learned more in these two sessions than in a whole year of shopping around for R syntax online.”
