WAS THE AGENDA FOR THIS COURSE ADEQUATE AND DID IT MEET YOUR EXPECTATION
 | Yes, the agenda met my expectations. We were able to gain momentum on issues that were stagnant. Gain trust. How to deal with tough situations. |
| The section on “Handling Conflict” was helpful but the information could have been supplied in a one hour session. |
| Yes. |
| It was a productive training session; it was beyond expectations. |
| Exceeded my expectations, although I wasn’t sure what to expect. J |
| Yes, and it exceeded my expectations. |
| Yes, very informative speakers and presentations. Brought out different views to changes, people, performances, and knowledge perceived. |
| Yes—very good! |
| Exceeded, Harry’s course was a little too much for me. Pam had to deliver news and future expectations, although not so well received. Alvin—two thumbs up. Margaret—great break down and encouragement. |
| Since it was my first time, I felt that it was good and informative. |
| The agenda was well-structured and I was happy to learn things that will not only help me in my job but in my personal life. Even better is that I can share the info Mr. Chun had presented with my co-workers. |
| Completely adequate—lots of valuable and informative information. |
| Yes, very adequate. |
| This was more than I expected, it exceeded my expectations. |
WHAT COULD THE PREP PLANNERS HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS COURSE MORE USEFUL TO YOU?
| Should be more information from EPA headquarters. |
| Vegetarian meal options. Improve on synergistic networking—it’s all really great, collaboration is so important. Off campus field trips. |
| More Native speakers because there are issues that occur on reservations that the State and Federal programs do not have to experience. |
| Give PREP stimulus dollars to those that are on time to give incentive to be on time. Each day sit by someone else so that you met more people. Perhaps more interactive icebreakers throughout the session. |
| I am not exactly sure what was missing or what should have been included. Overall, the session was very good. |
| Include pesticide in water issues, not just inspections, compliance, etc. More info on funding opportunities involving pesticides (more in depth). Bioaccumulative/Biomagnification effects of pesticides in wildlife species. Health effects of pesticides on human populations. |
| It was great! |
| None, this should be offered to others. |
| All was very good! |
| N/A but the TPPC members brought optimism and assurance for goals. |
| I currently do not have any suggestions at this time. With this training I was in the listening mode, this being my first Prep. |
| No additions. |
| Nothing. |
| For this, I think it was just right. |
IF THIS COURSE WAS TO BE HELD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, CAN YOU SUGGEST FACULTY WHO COULD SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVE THE AGENDA?
| EPA Regional Reps. be available to network with and share data |
| More on the pesticides 101 series. Find more Alvin’s in the world. |
| An entomologist or botanist to explain the chemical process involved when using the pesticide. |
| More in-depth on the 1PM session. It just was too general. Include start up cost. |
| Suzanne and Rose did a terrific job of putting the training together. |
| Not familiar with anyone related specifically to pesticides that I could refer. |
| Not at the moment. |
| Not clear on this question. I feel that project officers, managers, and administrative personal could benefit from attending this class so they can understand what was presented. |
| Can’t think of any at this moment. |
| Not at this time. |
| At this time, no. |
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS?
| There should be a Tribal PREP course every year with topics that relate to TRIBE needs, issues, and services! |
| Alvin proved great sequence between topics—kind of glued many of them together. IPM was a reiteration of Oct 2008 PIRT. Dan, Dea, Suzanne, Rose, THANK YOU. |
| Facilities and accommodations were outstanding. Training gave tribal personal new skills to use in dealing with conflicts on the job! |
| Very good course. Plenty of ideas to use and make us more prepared to do our jobs. Helped clarify our roles. |
| Great info, can’t wait to use what I learned at work. Captain Chun was great. He really made an effort to reach out to everyone. |
| Thank you! Very valuable information. |
| Very good course. The course planners, EPA staff, UC Davis staff, and presenters all did a fantastic job! Thank you! |
| Thank you. |
| Thank you for all your hard work. It was an excellent course. |
| Excellent, very exciting and informative. |
| No. |
| Why wasn’t graduation dinner at a restaurant like other PREP courses? |
| Continuing this course for tribal leadership will help them better understand what we do. |
