I did not know what to expect really in the course. The course however, exceeded my expectations. I learned a great deal even though I am a teacher and have
taught different levels and ages. The instructor was excellent, very organized, very knowledgeable, and kept the pace very well. The time went by quickly. I also made good friends in the class and we have maintained the friendships since then.
