Course Evaluations
More science!
Dynamic speakers favored
Desire for additional discussion
Not all info useful in relation to staff work
![Page 16: CDFW Climate College: Building Staff Capacity to Address Climate Change](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815be5550346895dc9d8de/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Remote participation is a challenge
Technology will always get the better of you
A discussion forum requires TLC
A ten-month attention span is only somewhat reasonable
Thinking about how you measure the of success of a project is best done BEFORE the project takes place
