Easy to Navigate and Very Informative

June 17, 2025

The overall course was very easy to navigate and very informative. I appreciate how the modules were separated into smaller sections, making the topics very clear and easier to absorb the material. I also like the mini quizzes after some of the modules—I wish every module had them! Having photo examples of the topics throughout the course also made it easier for me, as a visual learner, to understand the material.
