"I
want to tell you how much I enjoyed the workshop yesterday. I've been
to numerous ones of that sort, and this one was far and away the best.
I'd sort of dreaded having to sit for 2 1/2 hours, but the time flew.
Both content and presentation were stimulating and sensitive to audience...
I've already begun implementing the 12-second rule, with gratifying
results..."

excellent feedback from your session..., and I believe you set a tone

"We thoroughly enjoyed the critical thinking workshop that you
put on for us. Your manner of presentation made it fun. We liked how
you modeled different teaching methods that encourage critical thinking.
Actually, you made teaching for critical thinking look like it might
be within the reach of ordinary mortals. Thank you for your contribution
to our faculty development efforts."

discussions we had when you were here. As we develop our approach
to critical thinking and its assessment, please do not be surprised
if we invite you back."

more time is needed to further develop the ideas generated. I hope
that in the future you will be able to return and discuss more of
your energizing ideas..."

"Thank you so very very much. All files arrived in great shape
and I can open them without any problems. I really appreciate this.
I just have to say - we have used the California tools here since
1992 and have always hand scored them. I am so glad we have now switched.
Whether I have ordered tools, or had questions, or called about CapScore,
you have ALWAYS [Sic] been available and had answers for me. I am
very impressed with the service your company provides. I am a very
satisfied customer."

because of the parallel test forms which are particularly suitable
for pre- and post-testing."
