Course Reviews
Was a lot of new information and a lot more challenging than the intro to HTML course but great to learn and I look forward to practicing it and becoming more confident.
Cath was great! She explained everything with lot of detail, the course was at a good pace, and at the end of each subject she gave a summary of what we did. Great Teacher!! Thank you Cath!
Thank you for teaching me important concepts about CSS. The class was easy to follow, and the instructor was very patient and understanding.
I learned a lot but here is so much information to take in that I'd like the course to be longer or split across a few days so there is time to practice.
