Feedback
Some of the feedback received from the past course participants:
- "Statistical process control very well explained. Easy to follow the logic. Good problems that make you really think and apply the concepts."
- "It was a good experiment. Price was right. I received prompt e-mail responses. The course was informative and will be useful in my day-to-day work application."
- "I especially like your 'Peek at the Method' for instant evaluation. I like being able to check the method against my work even when I get the correct answer. Of course, it's great to take a peek when I am really stuck so that I can continue studying. This gives me flexibility to study any hour of any day as I choose. It's great!"
