by Chanel A. on March 19, 2026
This course was awesome. The modules allow you to move quickly applying your knowledge with real interactions.
by Angel S. on March 19, 2026
The project management course was a perfect overview of the responsibilities of project managers, process of beginning and closing projects, and proper oversight and delegation of team members and materials.
by Kathleen S. on March 19, 2026
I found many errors in the materials presented to study as well as the questions posed during the milestones. This course would benefit from complete rewrite, with more emphasis placed on clear definitions that do not contradict themselves later in the text. It would also be good if the person in charge of writing the exams had a goal of ensuring concepts are accurate and well understood, rather than goal of creating confusion with deceptive words and twists of phrasing that cause errors and lost points on tests. This has been the worst class I have taken so far, and it is all because of the points mentioned above. I made my disputes on a variety of questions, but unfortunately I was not able to do so on the final milestone.
by Michael I. on March 18, 2026
I recently completed English Composition I, and overall, I had a much better experience than I expected. Going into the class, I honestly didn’t like writing at all. It always felt like more of a chore than anything else. However, the course broke assignments into clear, manageable steps that made writing easier to understand and less overwhelming. By the end of the class, I had built confidence in my writing and was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed the process and could see real improvement.
