Faculty Comments:

"I like how it was not a huge time commitment each week and that there was flexibility with when you could complete each module. I learned a ton from participating."

"I really enjoyed the short videos and learned a lot from them; I also enjoyed the ability to do a little bit each week."

"[The] information was applicable, videos were clear and concise, [and] the class layout was not overly taxing."
