They [US Special Operations senior enlisted personnel] really did enjoy your class. They mentioned you again last night as we were enjoying refreshments at the Manager's reception at the Mainsail. Take a look [at this set of comments - complete and unedited],
Not sure if you know this but you have spawned a renaissance in the minds of our senior enlisted leaders.
Thanks so much for coming down and I can't wait to do this again in September (TBD).
Our students were truly inspire and I will send you a few copies of their papers they are writing on the subject.
Most respectfully,

Dear Drs. Noreen and Peter Facione,
Both of you played a major role in preparing our research department faculty for the upcoming academic year. Critical thinking is an important aspect in developing our curriculum; the bedrock for building the intellectual capital of our mid-level officers. Air command and Staff College prides itself in producing warrior-scholars who can think "outside the box and analyze strategic or operational situations.
Your in-depth knowledge, superb presentation skills, and overall professionalism reflect positively on Insight assessment and significantly contributed to the ACSC mission.
Fred P. Stone, Lt. Col, USAF

Dear Noreen and Peter Facione,
Your keynote for the 333 attendees at the Master's Conference in Albuquerque offered excellent insights and was highly evaluated. On a five-point scale, your own scores averaged 4.73 for content and 4.72 for delivery, making you one of the most highly evaluated speakers at the conference. Quite a number of participants wrote positive comments about the meeting as a whole, and eighteen indicated that your session was the single best aspect of the entire conference. Comments from participants about your session included: "great application of theory to practice," "nice balance of information/delivery," "a superb job of using 21st century teaching strategies -- it was the single most helpful part of the conference," and "phenomenal."

"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..."

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for coming to the TCCTA [Texas Community College Teachers Association]. Your presentation was enthralling!

"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."
