"Tom did a
superb job of tailoring a workshop specifically for our needs and was flexible
enough to make adjustments on the spot. Our group varied in their knowledge and
abilities and he was able to provide information that was valuable for all skill levels
present. The quick reference manual he provided has become a valuable
reference source that we use constantly and he has maintained contact for any
post-course questions. One of the best things about the course was that he
included actual examples and hands-on projects to work through. This allowed
participants to learn by doing. I highly recommend Tom's
services." Rita Louise Funaro, Publications Coordinator, Research Department, Inter-American Development Bank, http://www.iadb.org/
"Tom has made several successful videos for our company, and we are planning to do more. In addition to his clear scripts and accompanying video screen shots, he has many innovative ideas that add a little something extra to the videos. Before making the final video he provides preview versions and listens carefully to our comments. As a result the videos convey our company's message clearly. It's been a pleasure working with Tom." Lance Carnes, Priesident, PCTeX.
"I'd like to thank Dr. Thomas Price, otherwise known as my guardian angel in Ohio, for without whose incredible generosity in his help with Scientific WorkPlace, I would never have made it." Emily Gustafsson-Wright, Baring the Threads Social Capital, Vulnerability and the Well-being of Children in Guatemala, Research Series, Universiteit van Amsterdam.
"I vividly remember many other assignments and the lessons I learned in doing them. Rarely have I “learned my lessons” so well. During the past 20 years I have been fortunate to rise through the academic ranks to the position of Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Although the technical content of what I learned from Dr. Price has been a great asset in my research on Computational Fluid Dynamics, I believe that his impact on me as a teacher has been even greater. I have repeatedly used the insights gained in his classroom to teach students in my classrooms. I strive to achieve the level of engagement with my students in all of my classes that Dr. Price achieved with me. Several years ago I came across a quote from Yeats: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” I have had precious few teachers in my lifetime who lit a fire. Dr. Price is one of them, and for that I will always be grateful. John I. Hochstein, Chair, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Memphis.
"I think that using videos to teach [software] is the best way to do so." “The videos were crucial to doing the lessons.” Your voice was clear, and you spoke and moved the cursor slowly so that it was easy to follow along with what you were saying and doing." Some student evaluations of an online course Dr. Price taught on Scientific WorkPlace.
