It's a great class; I was very nervous with all the video touchstones... Good luck and pay close attention to the rubric some of the people who grade your videos and papers are really extra on those visual aides!!!
by Julia R. on July 6, 2026
Loved this class. The scripts are well written, which helps to memorize where to find which information.

by Mahalia P. on July 5, 2026
FAST finished in a day! Easy, most of it is common sense. I saw a review saying it was "woke" it's really just decency and empathy. This class is helpful for all relationships personal and work related.
