WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"This really is a great course. The course effectively deals with one of the biggest problems with the 'IT' world: Speaking in another language that non-tech outsiders don't understand. Some people may feel that it is too simplistic and slow-paced, however, they lack the above understanding. Thank you for your efforts!"
- Rad
