Assorted Testimonials
Without all the time you put into the lectures, examples, PSWs, consultation hours, simulated exams and most importantly SUMMARY SHEETS, there is no way I would understand as much as I now do about seismic principles and designs. The summary sheet was an amazing help while practicing and during the exam!! Unmatched by anything I ever found or created for my first Seismic Principles test. The textbook is also an amazing resource, well organized and easy to read and follow. It has such an abundance of questions to help study from. Thank you again for everything you have helped me with throughout the past few months. Without your dedication, my dedication to the test would have been pointless.
