Feedback from Previous Curiosity Tank Workshops

"The class was amazing! I really appreciate the depth and interactivity. The best part is your policy of being an "open book". The opportunity to ask questions about your opinion and experience is so incredibly valuable."

ANNIE E.

"I feel happy, excited and relieved that I am now more equipped with more research tools for facilitating great user interviews, especially with how to implement scenarios and tasks and understanding more about Bias! I cannot wait to pilot more and also I cannot wait for the thematic analysis portion!"

JR. P

"This was a very complete series. While I certainly don't know everything, I feel like I know enough to feel confident about running a project and doing this on an ongoing basis in our organization."

LAURA B

"[I] felt like I was able to connect the dots more; I'm better understanding the protocols and processes of interviews, the do's and don'ts. It was an exciting set of classes, really enjoyed the discussions happening"

Your class drastically improved the quality of my last interview. I really couldn't appreciate many of the principles and I tried them and saw them work. Thank you!
