Student Feedback

The best learning experience of my life. Finally a learning technique that makes sense! This technique allowed me to excel doing projects that delivered lessons that will last for years to come...Dr. Kunkel's technique was a breath of fresh air and hope that the teaching tide is turning.

One of my favorite aspects of the class was being able to select projects that were personally relevant; because of this, I invested much more effort and enthusiasm and also derived more benefit.

Junior, USD

This way of learning was different from all of the other classes I have taken...In Consultant Learning you learn from your mistakes. As a student you are forced to do something right to get credit for it. There is no punishment for not understanding, only encouragement to do it right.
