by Ivan M. on December 19, 2024
Some labs felt like pixel hunting, also would be nice to be able to have options for touchstones , choose from more topics
by Luis O. on December 19, 2024
Great way to get some courses donde. While being a working adult full time.

Perfect
by Lynn Eliza K. on December 19, 2024
Great course! A very comprehensive introduction to the realm of Business.
by Tracy R. on December 19, 2024
Not a slacker course by any means. The information covered is comprehensive and difficult. Open book only helps so far because there are many higher order thinking questions that push you to apply the material on a deeper level.
by Rolf P. on December 19, 2024
A nice overview of the US government.
by Michael B. on December 19, 2024
This is a fun class. If you like philosophy you will enjoy this class.
