LEARNING EFFECTIVENESS:
Course too long, "too many modules, etc."
- Course was structured IRT FIPT competencies; - Lessons being too long, combining the modules?
Download ref material to PDF document. Lessons are available. Overall course is not.
Dead links were corrected, with couple minor exceptions still IW. Web sites do change, We’ll continue to watch.
Outdated references. References scrub for currency now IW.
Few comments re lesson introductions being "silly“, non-value added – eg, news interview with the builder of Stonehenge (Others liked it)
6. Minor - couple of comments regarding spelling errors (i.e. MTBF as MBTF), missing comma, etc 
JOB IMPACT:
1. Vast majority of students were outside of the logistics sustainment
and supply chain management job specialty;
4,622 course graduates during FY-12 -
- Only about 14-16% were in some sort of log/log sustainment related billet.

16. LOG 102 STUDENT COMMENTS The Good The Slightly Less Good, But Useful
As a maintainer, knowing the supply system functions and programmatics is essential
Interesting and easy to follow
Great overview
Environmental compliance info critical to those without extensive experience
Excellent and challenging if you really do it; good overview of how the system should work
Good review of the more detailed, in-depth knowledge I gained in graduate school, with my Master’s in Logistics; some of that info updated me.
Solid, basic class for understanding Logistics
The Slightly Less Good, But Useful
Mandatory training at my command, but most doesn’t apply to my current duties
Some of the links don’t
Don’t test, we are grownups; 100% requirement detracts from the learning
Should be a classroom course, don’t like online courses
Too long, too much information; bandwidth is an issue
Tests are terrible, some of the quiz questions are questionable
Shorten the waiting time for Help Desk

17. Course Manager / PLD Assessment
Course is successful and overall well regarded
MTMs following the trend
Throughput and Demographics balanced
Gateway into Life Cycle Logistics for other Career Fields
Strengthens LCL foundation for other LCL courses
LOG 206, Intermediate Systems Sustainment Management
LOG 340, Performance-Based Life Cycle Product Support
LOG 350, Enterprise Life Cycle Logistics Management
DAU Section and Instructor capacity adequate
Short term plan:
Scrub course material for outdated refs, typo's/spelling, and monitor web links
- CM/PLD correct based on Composica ROE  
Mid-term plan:
1. Incorporate Will Cost-Should Cost, Better Buying Power Initiative (BBPI)
tenants into the course curriculum (Module 3, Logistics Financial Management)
