COURSE FEEDBACK: • The PMI Syracuse Chapter PMP Review Course has been developed and improved over the years through the hard work of various volunteers. We strive for continuous improvement, much of which is dependent on student feedback. • At the conclusion of each module, it is requested that students complete a brief survey and provide candid and constructive feedback on opportunities for improvement. • It is also encouraged that students return as volunteer instructors after passing the exam to help reinforce the information you just learned and provide advice to future students. • Additionally, the Syracuse Chapter is looking to build a library of study aids and resources. It is greatly appreciated if students consider providing any particularly useful tools to the Chapter so that we can continue to improve the training offering to future students.
