Here's what students have said about this course:
"Just wanted to say again thank you for the course. Course was very informative. Good number of people (not too many/few). I very much liked the balance of 'this is my way' v 'this is what others teach'. Always liked your balance of humour with the serious.Need to practice - a little knowledge is more dangerous than having no knowledge at times!"
