    It does what it says on the tin. It's an introductory mini-course (pretty short), which begs for further sessions.
    The teacher is easy to follow, pretty slow paced. Nothing groundbreaking, but a clear overview of basic principles.
  • Tory Hunter
    A super-helpful collection of both proven methods with some innovative strategies. This is not about just telling us what to do, but helping students decide for themselves how the concepts may apply to our own career. If you only look at the surface of a class, it may look easy - but its up to me to dig in and make it work, and this course has been great so far.
  • Sergiu N
    Rubbish material, very general. Dropped it after the first sessions. It's one of those jack of all traits, master of none attempts.
