others."
"Any
time I had problems, I received quick feedback. When the problem could not be
solved immediately, the instructor would work with me no matter how many minutes
or hours were needed to solve the problem. With the time spent answering
questions (in depth if needed) about all the problems of the students in this

help each one of us... I really appreciate that because when I taught, I did the
same thing although I wouldn't do it any other way... it takes a lot of time and
energy!!!"

a former educator, I've taken many computer workshops. This was the most helpful
ever. It is really a well-designed and helpful course."

very much and recommend them to anyone who is interested! I am sure you will
learn more than in a classroom."
