California Surveyors Forums

The LS Review Sessions at the CLSA-NALS Conference were videoed. The DVDs are now available.

Order online at the CLSA Store

Or, use attached order form.

wow, that's great for those of us that can't always travel to some of the review sites since there are none locally.

great idea!

Ouch, $20 shipping.

Uhh, Anthony...

compare that $20 to the cost of transportation and lodging to the next conference, or just transportation to the next round of review sessions at the venue nearest to you.

Don't know about you, but I spend about $40/day just to get to work and back.


$20 is a screamin' deal!

Figured i'd bring this back to the top.

I've been watching these for a bit now and overall, i'd say they were helpful.

but, if you were to take suggestions about any improvements, i would suggest the following.

1) put copies of the slides that the presenter had on the dvd's also to make it easier to follow along. while sometimes the video was on the projector screen, there are times its on the speaker and we miss what they are refering too.

2) tell the presenters to finish their example problems next time! LOL. there has been a few that have taken the question about 80% of the way and then just stopped.... while that's nice because it shows you the way to do it, it'd be nice to be able to work the full problem and verify you didn't mess up a calc.

3) Have the presenter repeat the questions from the crowd. since they don't have mic's it doesn't get recorded and all we here is a random answer that we don't know what the question was about.



Overall, I think they are a great tool so far and worth the cost. if those things could be addressed for the future, you'd be silly not to buy them if you're studying for the exam IMHO.

We have been receiving great response and positive feedback to the LS DVDs. We appreciate you taking the time to offer suggestions to improve the program. Based on similar requests, we are in the process of putting together a resource disc with material from the speakers and their PowerPoints.
Once it is available, we will send the resources disc to everyone that has ordered the DVD set and include it in future orders.

Thank you!

The Central Valley Chapter is presenting these videos, has contacted most of the presenters and received permission to post their materials on our website. You can find most of the presenter files by following the links here:

that's great!

I think its money well spent to include the dvd's into a study routine. its great for us that have sometimes unique study hours.
