BOTH INSTRUCTOR INTERVIEWS AND STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRES WERE USED TO EVALUATE THE PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH THE UTILITY OF AND NEED FOR THE PROGRAM WAS RATED AS HIGH, BOTH GROUPS INDICATED THAT INSUFFICIENT TIME HAD BEEN ALLOTTED TO COVER SOME OF THE SUBJECTS. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE AS TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE SPENT ON EACH SUBJECT FOR SUBSEQUENT TRAINING SESSIONS. ATTACHED TO THIS REPORT IS A COURSE SYLLABUS AND A COPY OF THE STUDENT EVALUATION FORM WITH A SUMMARY OF RESPONSES BY QUESTION. --IN SPANISH
