Feedback from Course participants:
I’ve really enjoyed the course, and everything presented, and the style used both by PowerPoint and hands-on. I have appreciated the presentation style and opportunity to meet fellow bonsai club members who are interested in learning and sharing their experiences in a friendly atmosphere. I believe that by participating in the course, fellow club members can identify with those new to the club and appreciate genuine interest.
I feel the course has been a great success. Built on your enthusiasm, informative & interesting notes plus support from many experienced Bimer members.
Considering all the materials that have been provided, the quality of trees and hours in the course, the cost of $150 is good value.
Having the course on the same day as Bimer meeting works well and helps promote the course.
The practical, hands on experience has been a highlight for me. However, the YouTube instruction videos that were suggested provided noticeably clear & detailed wiring instructions. Excellent and a homework place for them.
I think the course represents excellent value for money. At $150 for 11 sessions, it only works out to be $13.60 per sessions, and this is for 3-hour sessions. The fee also includes the supplied trees, wire, and pot, so the cost of the “tuition” probably works at to be not much more than $5 per session which, if anything, is probably too cheap.
There is an amazing amount of research and work that has been put into the course preparation and thank you for your efforts to put everything together which is very comprehensive. I have been very happy with your presentations at each meeting which have been very informative and enjoyable. . It has been great to have Albert and a few of the other senior members provide some additional contribution and this has been great.
