You packed alot in 2 days. It was very well organised and I appreciated being able to go between the breakout rooms and not having to travel all the way to Dundee!
Please don't ask me to specify one. 1. The actor. 2. The breakout rooms. 3. E mails 4. Teaching before viva
i thought zoom worked well and was well organised. the breakout rooms we also well organised. it saved hotel stay and transport cost. significant co2 savings when taking account of all the people involved
Thank you an excellent and informative course. The faculty were all very knowledgeable and ran great lectures and sessions. It ran well as the zoom/virtual set up especially as an observer.
