All,
I am wondering if anyone is willing to share their thoughts (good, bad,
or indifferent) on this course. I have taken the comparable course
sponsored by Insightful and found it to be very helpful. This course
content appears to be slightly different so I am seeking the group's
feedback. Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve
