Spring
Conference Attendees Give Thumbs Up
-
 At
the end of each seminar, ABO/NCLE asks attendees to evaluate it
based on four questions: Did the course further your
knowledge/skill, were the learning expectations of the course
met, was the course a worthwhile investment of time, was the
course presented without specific product bias, would you
recommend this course, and finally was the instructor organized
and informative. As you can see from just one course, “In
the Beginning: Embryonic Eye Development,” the presenters
at the OpticalCEU's 2011 Spring Conference for Continuing
Education succeeded as far as attendees were concerned. You can
see the results for all the courses presented by clicking
