Course Comments

Eric Allen | 09/03/2021

Course is out of date. It references new rules that should have been enacted in 2015.

Matthew Shumway | 03/06/2020

The only negative comment I can make about this lesson is the volume of the speakers. I had to constantly play with sound settings but otherwise, a great presentation about preservation.

Catherine Hendricks | 07/28/2017

Good start. Thank you.

Christine Hawkins | 06/21/2017

Thank you! Helpful.

Judy St. John | 05/17/2017

The information is great, but the volume fluctuations and jerky transitions to the speakers is a bit distracting. Also, you might want to consider a lighter background since the speakers wear darker clothes they almost look like floating heads. Video quality aside, the information is really good.

Stephen Weeks | 05/17/2017

please keep the volume more consistent between speakers and between courses.

Lakeith Whitley | 03/17/2017

Very good information on the importance of preserving tape backup.

Barath Rajagopalan Jayaraman | 04/25/2016

This course gives a very detailed orientation to legal Hold and its obligations.

Monekia Franklin | 04/13/2016

I enjoyed the practical tips provided in this presentation. If possible, it would be helpful to provide a short clip at the end that summarizes how preservation obligations are affected by the amendments to the FRCP.
