I feel like this class should be longer, I felt like I couldn't learn anything, it's not the professors fault. I felt that it was being rushed because we only had limited time.
Very informative Wed, Jan 24, 2024
Could be a bit longer … was very informative and helpful
Not what I was hoping for.... Mon, Aug 21, 2023
I was dissapointed that the trainer just played a video for us, I was hoping for more interaction, more engagment, I can watch the videos on m own so this was not what I hoped for. Attended a second training - same course but different trainer and it was VERY helpful!
