This was the third year for the Thomas College Institute.  Our students, once again, had an excellent experience and shared the following comments on their evaluations:

My overall impression of the TCI Session I-Educational Statistics summer course experience:

"It has been an invaluable experience.  I am thoroughly impressed at how Dr. Turner manages to put so much enthusiasm and information into a short time frame."

"Dr. Turner has an unbelievable knowledge base and ability to teach!."

"This has been an intellectually stimulating and challenging week.  Despite the high level of the challenge, I found the experience comfortable and rewarding. Dr. Turner does an excellent job in his dual role as instructor and host."

"Excellent, fun and informative, I would love to take more."

My overall impression of the TCI Session II-Organization of the Future summer course experience:

"Thought provoking, good discussions, accepting of various views and experiences, a lot of reading and preparation, but it was worth the hard work.  A great learning experience."

"Great!  While I  had Dr. Bob for one class, I feel as though he is a significant mentor in my education.  He is a great asset to Thomas and the class format fits his personality."

"I am really glad I chose to come.  It was a great use of vacation time."

"This TCI course was excellent.  Robert Whitcomb was a wonderful speaker and teacher.  The class was very interactive, creating an atmosphere for learning, specifically as it was applied to individuals in our respective organizations."

"I like the TCI experience.  It's intense, but it allows me to live, eat and breath it for a week and be done.  If I could take all my classes this way, I would."

My overall impression of the TCI Session III-Becoming a Masterful Facilitator, Coach and Mentor summer course experience:

"An excellent experience.  David made learning fun and easy – very good environment for sharing best practices."

"BRAVO!  Very well run.  More classes should be offered in this format.  David did a fabulous job.  He made us feel comfortable.  His classroom was a very welcoming place to be.  David allowed all to participate but never put anyone on the spot.  The educational experience he provided was exceptional."

"Absolutely wonderful!  I can’t wait to come back again next summer!"

"The two TCI courses I have participated in have been the best of my graduate program thus far!  I can’t wait till next year!!"
