With this class I loved the textbook and really was able to apply a lot of it in my job. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure what this class was about when I signed up for it. I think this is one of the most real-world classes I have ever taken, and I will take what I learned with me forever. Thank you for making this class such a great tool for me!
