9. What changes would you recommend in this course in the future (list the proposed change and motivate below)

 Contact trainings are the best for me due to connectivity challenge. For example I missed almost the part of Friday's training due to connectivity issues. As a result I used my own little knowledge on disease in the test we just written.
 1 (3%) 
 
 It will be more effective if it was face to face
 1 (3%) 
 
 Please please please please use contect that is relevant to communal farmers, small holderf farmers and not commercial. Please and please.
 1 (3%) 
 
 No recommendation
 1 (3%) 
 
 TOO MUCH WORK IN A SHORT SPACE OF TIME. PLEASE WITH THE NEXT GROUP TRY TO GIVE MORE TIME
 1 (3%) 
 
 Give us enough time to write test due that some of us were using cellphones
 1 (3%) 
 
 reduce the workload, this is too much information to crasp at once, maybe extend the during of the cource
 1 (3%) 
 
 Proper planning, this course is supposed to be practical but everything was theoretical
 1 (3%) 
 
 Only the involvement of Extension officers in all provinces to get results of the outcome of all the research done.
 1 (3%) 
 
 since we are doing things in a new way. I would like to arrange demonstration trial in the province
 1 (3%) 
 
 Virtual training not recommended Practicals neef to be done
 1 (3%) 
 
 none
 1 (3%) 
 
 i believe all is well but there is need for more practical's which should involved farmers in our areas in between the courses or phases

 Practical mostly on veld assessment to be able to conduct them.
 1 (3%) 
 
 Colleagues to respect time and log in on time
 1 (3%)

 1 (3%) 
 
 having trial demonstrations about fodder flow in all provinces, and also bring those lurcene tree seedlings
 1 (3%) 
 
 Groung rules must be adhered to.
 1 (3%) 
 
 Trials would be the best on veld management
 1 (3%) 
 
 To send learning materials before the cause commence
 1 (3%) 
 
 The scope of the courses was too much and we need more time for the workshop.
 1 (3%)

 1 (3%) 
 
 Nil

 None
 1 (3%) 
 
 I would change it from on line to physical contact session
 2 (6%)
