This course provided the content in a clear and concise format. However, in order for participants to better retain the information, the instructor could highlight the most important items or give a summary of the information or personal examples.

It serves its purpose My only complaint is that the instructor is a bit monotone and the lessons were not engaging. But there isn’t much more to be done when the subject of a course is plain anyways.

The course was very informative, but covered a large amount of material. I would recommend the person taking the course break it up into sections, as it is a lot of material to cover all at one time.

A dry course but the information is easily understood and the power points show the most relevant data though they could be shortened somewhat for clarity.

The course is pretty straightforward. It's ethics, so it's going to be dry, but the instructor does a great job of outlining the important areas.

It is an easy, quick course. Wish could select the speed of the lecture. One of the practice quiz answers was incorrect, in my opinion.

The presentation was very vanilla and boring. More real life examples would give better grasp of real world ethics applications

A little boring. Instructor could have included some examples and enthusiasm instead of just reading from the slides.

I think he could have talked faster and less monotone, but overall provided enough relevant information.

It would have been better to attach the latest version of CR&R as reference material (vs slides).

Presenter was a bit on the monotone side. Would like to have some "spice" in the presentation

This may be the worst course I've ever taken. I'd need to think back... no, it's the worst.

The presenter was difficult to follow and seemed to just read the contents of the slides.

More interaction (ie quiz questions after each video) would be helpful.
