Participant Feedback
The frequency with which I leveraged info from my first PRP course convinced me to attend another. Love the new organization of content! Should make it much easier to reference when needed in the future. Well worth the time – thank you!" —J.F.
"A wealth of great research data. I'm well prepared to go back to my office and present many cases for further institutionalizing usability and user-centered design within the organization." —M.D.
"Putting Research into Practice far surpassed my expectations. Kath, a true academic with the rare ability to communicate complicated scientific research in layman's terms, humanized all of the presented research and helped me apply this information to the real world. The presentation of the research highlighted the main points and didn't get wrapped up in academic-speak. I very much enjoyed this course and look forward to next year." —D.H.
