General Comments

Overall recommendation:

Definitely NotAbsolutely

Best aspect:

Faculty were strong

Least liked about program:

Huge group size with no leveling; not a full day (9-2)

Suggested changes to program:

Expand to end at 4 or 5pm, smaller group size for more corrections and attention

Culture of program:

Expressive to build stage presence; not very diverse
