Verbatim comments:

- Can't expect to cover such a huge toolkit in a day, but
   would also like to have some more basics - e.g. why
   called 'Filter' or 'Iterator'. What basic functions exist ?
   Perhaps have more of this and less examples. Perhaps some
   time on how to use documentation.

- Unfortunately, one of the objectives was not reached. "Start
   your own software project based on ITK. "Download and install
   the toolkit"

- Very excellent presentation; I would have liked 2,3,(more) days
   or even more.

- Notes not printed. The supplied notes were blank, which did
   provide a place to take notes.


--------------- end of extract --------------------

Due to a missunderstanding, SPIE did not print the notes for
the course. The assumption was made that because we were
distributing the notes in the CDs, the printed notes were not
necessary. We were all a bit disapointed with the absence of
the 200 pages we prepared for the notes.
