Summary
Good, comprehensive information stated plainly. Presenters made the process seem unintimidating, even for a novice. Materials were sufficient and not overwhelming.
It's been very informative and interesting for the most part. The course has given good tools, diagrams and resources and used specific examples to illustrate theory.
Methodically organized in the human thought process. Plenty of good dos & donts tips & how to phrease certain ? Good vibes from instructors!
Not only did I pick up new skills and knowledge, information from the course also served as a great check on the things I have been doing all these years.
