Dr. Berk had good examples of "real life" accounting situations that helped make complex issues easy to understand.

Coleen Hanna, Employee Services Dept

John R. Hanna, Gen Supv -

Fleet Eng Excellent presentation of potentially very dry, boring topics.

Steven G. Hart, GS - Facilities Management

The instructor was excellent and had good academic background and practical experience. There are few experts in this area, and Joel Berk is clearly one of them. I really enjoyed his presentation and manner of teaching.

Perfect- simple enough for non-finance persons to understand but complex enough to make it both interesting and challenging. Many practical illustrations of finance & accounting theory.

You made a potentially boring topic interesting and informative.

I think this was a very good seminar and the Coop Assn should schedule the other courses of the series for us to attend.

I've tried many seminars on many occasions to improve my skills in utility finance. This was the very best to date. I expect to be more effective from this point.

Joel Berk's ability to convey information in meaningful terms. (Maybe all finance and accounting should be handled by those with engineering background.)
