Difficult class but doable.
by Nicole R. on January 12, 2025
Great info to learn in this class but don't take for granted to study.
by Rachel T. on January 12, 2025
The voiceovers by a real human, especially this one, was really helpful and engaging! Thank you for the great layout, information and support. And the confetti at the end is a small touch but honestly made me smile so much and means a lot as an online student to feel connected and still celebrated - thank you!
