I really did like that the course was very clear and easy to navigate. I like that I could work at my own pace and had videos to go back through for information. There really wasn’t anything I disliked about the class, besides the fact that it seemed a little difficult to find my course information after logging into to the site. This is because I’m not a techy person. This course is very similar to other courses I’ve taken, but didn’t seem like just busy work like some other courses I’ve taken. I feel like this course will benefit me because of the good strategies and information it has provided me. Ronnie S., NE.
