Training Course on Freshwater Fish Farm Management Part 1: Fisheries Research Institute (HAKI)
Szarvas, 3 August to 8 October 1987
STUDENTS' EVALUATION
The course on freshwater fish farm management is the second of the three training courses in English organized jointly by FAO and the Government of Hungary. You, the students on this course, can help us to improve our plans for future courses by answering the questions in this evaluation form. Please answer fully and frankly, and prepare your answers independently. Your replies are confidential- you need not put your name on the form.
After the second part of the course, to be held at the Warmwater Fish Hatchery in Százhalombatta, we will ask you to help us in a similar way again; at that time, you will have the opportunity to make your own suggestions for improvement to future courses.
