by Larry M. on June 9, 2025
Informative and educational
by Nigel V. on June 9, 2025
Solid class was not the most interesting but was a very informative course
by Kelly G. on June 8, 2025
Lots of information delivered in an engaging way that wasn't too easy or too hard. I like that the questions were challenging because they were framed in a real way that wasn't directly out of the subject matter- required application to different scenarios.
by Saul P. on June 8, 2025
Challenging but I learned alot!
by Ahmed O. on June 8, 2025
