7. “Have a little interaction through use of simulations or something. Just reading the material and answering questions was quite boring.” “The only conceivable use for this course is to hammer home the same concepts that every other DAU course in Logistics has already put forth; and it achieves this modest goal in the least graceful way I can imagine.” “Objectives and course content did not support the test questions.” “It was basically just printing out the material, reading through it and then taking the test.” “I thought the material was very important but the editing and writing are of very low quality. Many chapters had so many typographical errors that it became distracting to the content I was attempting to learn.” “Rewrite the class, put in a logical sequence, and write test questions that make sense and support the learning objective.” LOG 201A Student Survey Comments for “Least Useful” Elements of the Course

8. Solution LOG 201A Current Status • LOG 201A undergoing complete overhaul. • Content revision complete (partnered with LMI). • Distance Learning formatting underway with estimated completion date of Sept 2007. • Project funding identified, allocated and executed. • Expect to roll out new course the start of 1st quarter FY 08.

9. “NEW” LOG 201A Acquisition Logistics Focus: From Concept to System Demonstration …Both Horizontally & Vertically Integrated Define Supportability Objectives Evaluate Product Support Capabilities Develop Initial Product Support Capabilities Product Support Plan Demonstrate Product Support Capability

10. LOG 201A Overhaul Plan Road Ahead • DL Kick off meeting held 22 March 07. • PMP complete. CDD awaiting TLO/ELO development. • Student pilot scheduled for 16 July 2007. • Begin transitioning of new course at start of FY08 – must coordinate with registrations.
