Comments
from past attendees...
"This is a great course: it's well
organized, the instructors are top-notch, and the course material is
very informative".
....Research Specialist
"This has been an
excellent course. The instructors demonstrated a keen interest
in the topics they presented. I could tell that they were
presenting the information to help our understanding rather than just
to complete a task."
....Associate Chemist
"Very well
presented, handouts contained a lot of information. The course gave a
very good overview of materials and structure-properties
relationship. It provided me with knowledge that would otherwise
require years of studying to become familiar with."
....Anonymous
"Good overall scope."
