TABLE S2. Selected open-ended participant feedback from PSA and PSA + courses
Participant feedback - overall comments
PSA
An immense amount of resources. Good job training is very long.
It would probably be better over two days.
This is mindbogglingly boring and a waste of my time. No
disrespect to the presenters who did a fine job.
Module 1
PSA
Unknown answer to question
not previously considered were
investigated and an answer was
provided immediately - right
during the training - well done.
It was really hard to stay
awake during the training. You
guys need to make it more
interactive and not just read
the slides and what we have in
the binder.
PSA +
Not having all the slides was
confusing and distracting.
Better to have all or none.
Exercise was informative.
I would have more of the
exercises with audience
participation as you did with
photos and water sample
analysis.
Good exercise for evaluation of
farms and what category they
fall under.
PSA
Reminding farmers to make
decisions about protocol rather
than making the solutions feel
unattainable. E.g., dogs on site:
your farm can have dogs on
site. It up to each farm to make
a policy based on GAP and
FSMA regs
Very informative I will actually
be utilizing a pre-harvest
assessment in my gleaning
practices. Thank you.
Module 5.1
PSA
PSA +
Good info but the math portion was hard to follow.
This was a very dense module and happened late in the day -
started to feel information overload.
A lot of testing with water that I need more familiarization with.
My attention is spotty not the fault of the presenter. Good thing I
have workbook.
Can this be interactive at all and more adult learning? Hands on
with water - for an example?
The handouts are an invaluable component of this training. I
can review them to refresh my memory in the future and further
explain the process; Well prepared. I appreciated the material
outside the scope of the binder. I love her lectures. I've been
to her trainings before and they're so practical, specific, and
relevant. She includes a ton of examples and conversations to get
people thinking about how it could affect them and how they
can problem solve.
Good background in water; Interactive; Very helpful.
Very interesting and kept my attention.
I understood this part of the seminar very well.
I found this module the most useful in classifying water sources
and requirements.
I liked the handouts and exercises with the audience.
I liked the class participation with the water sample analysis.
Definitely one of the most helpful modules for me personally.
Not sure on the math calculations yet.

PSA +
It lacked a compelling intro to create buy-in general info about
common foodborne illness would help.
Module 4
PSA +
Birds don't follow the rules.
Photographs were useful for
more discussion at tables.
Pictures came entirely without
labels. One picture looked
like lettuce but turned out to
be seed (not food!). Could
not define quarantine areas
nor guidelines for establishing
them.
Good exercise with pictures
and talking through examples.
Liked the photos.
