Thanks for submitting!

The class provided some great techniques for handling a root cause as a project which I will utilize to remain more organized. Also, the interviewer skills learned will absolutely be utilized.

It was nice to have perspective from multiple plants and experience levels.

Keep these classes small. I think the smaller classroom setup, especially virtually, was a HUGE asset here. Great discussions over the last few days.
