Great information in the class material. There are several touchstones to complete though, which greatly impacted my completion speed.

by Heather R. on August 29, 2025
Great class and resources! Very informative!
by Amber H. on August 29, 2025
I actually loved this class! The order of the assignments was perfect. Once I got to the rough draft, it was a piece of cake because of the prep work done in the prior assignments.
by Todd P. on August 29, 2025
I wish there had been a feature and if it is there easier to find to have the information read in a lecture type way. I travel as a nurse and have a ton of time in a car to listen but not always interact with programs.
by Beatrice k. on August 29, 2025
it was very easy
