Anonymous: I think having such a workshop was a fantastic idea and a great way to save PI time. I think the material was very helpful. I was told we were going to be able to have the slides but I have not received them yet. Hopefully they will send them to us. I did not take notes because I was told that we will be getting the slides. They talked about RIZO a lot without an explanation of what it was.

Anonymous: I found the Powerpoint slides almost impossible to read. Perhaps acronyms might have been explained at first use. .
