Reviews
- Great information, not very engagingReview by Bre

The information in this course was thorough, well organized, applicable, and comprehensive. I enjoyed the real-world examples and tons of extra resources. However, it did not contain any audio or video to supplement the readings, and a lot of the resource links did not work (seems like they might need to be updated). Even still, I learned a lot.
