This course was excellent. I was challenged by the writing assignments and the constraints helped me to think about things in a different way. Great course- highly recommended.

Some of the assignments were more challenging for me than those in the other three courses, but this wasn’t a bad thing. I felt more stretched and that was what I needed. Thank you!

I thought the videos were excellent and the interviews of great value. I always download the text, create a .docx, and follow the videos word-for-word.

Mr Scibona was great. I would have loved to get his feedback but I suppose that's a lot to ask from an online class. I highly recommend this class!

Thanks to everyone involved. Without guidance got through the Coach I would have not sailed this far. All the video classes played the key.
