Student testimonial: “I really enjoyed these past 10 weeks!  I am so happy that this class is one of the core classes for the certificate program.  Perspective is not in my comfort zone, and I probably would have avoided it. This class has really helped me evolve. I like the way your class is set up with the homework review and then the lesson.  It is really helpful to see everyone else’s work and to hear their thought processes. Looking forward to taking the next class.” Kathryn.
