WAQAS SAMI, LECTURER, BIOSTATISTICS, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, Majmaah University

It was one the best workshops i have ever taken and the best one on SEM. Prof. Marko explained the concepts wonderfully to such extent that baseline concepts were clear to novice researchers like me. Prof. Marko is an institution himself, it is easier to understand the concepts if you are taught by the one who is part of the founding team. As far as learning is concerned, session on use of SmartPLS was awesome. Indeed, I am thankful to the organizers for arranging this workshop and looking forward to attend such workshops in near future.
