    What a waste of my time. I learned nothing. Nice enough people. They couldn't convey what knowlege they have to save their lives. It looks like they phoned in this course. Disjointed, haphazard with absolute no structure, no lecture and no take home material. It was a total joke. I didn't even go to the last class as it was a a waste of my time.I signed up for another course, which is a 1000 times better. Save you money and go take a course from so other place.
