It's really good course for beginner
by Brad P. on May 12, 2026
I feel it could have been better structured and presented. Felt like a data dump and not very engaging. Videos sometimes didn't cover the full info.
by Katie M. on May 12, 2026
I felt this course was challenging. I spent a lot of time on my Touchstones and was disappointed when I saw some of my grades.
by Shawn S. on May 12, 2026
Great course, excellent feedback from the reviewer.
