Comments from participants:
Our instructor was such a wealth of practical information and taught very well. Our readings were each practical handbooks I have saved and will use in the future. I feel so prepared after this course.
I really enjoyed the smaller course size which allowed for a more comfortable discussion at the end of the live lecture each week. Having a responsive instructor was also incredibly helpful.
