COMMENTS - What was Awesome!?
“The class had a great energy. It was fun and interesting. Prof Alexander was engaging, thoughtful, easily accessible and a pleasure to listen to every week. He truly cares about his students and it shows! Cant say enough good stuff about the class in general and Professor Alexander!”
“I extremely liked how the course was taught. Through the zoom layout, to the conversations and safe space, to the break down of assignments. The assignments and tests were broken down so well that I felt prepared and confident when I went to submit.”
“The content was extremely cool - while sometimes confusing, I now have one helluva portfolio to showcase that I can keep adding to and changing as my skillsets change and opportunities arise.”
“Everything! assignments were manageable and well designed. Dwight made sure that students needs were met and communicated clearly. Made me feel very at ease with everything and just treated assignments like stepping stones and learning experiences, which really enhanced the final project. These assignments made me really think outside the box and analyze my industry. I really grasped a firm understanding and expanded my knowledge of what industry I wanted to work for in the future and what my goals were.”
“The environment and the mindset of this class was phenomenal. One of the few classes where learning came first and marks come later. This made it a very friendly learning environment and made me want to learn more and actually care, as when I see a professor care and put in effort in making a great class it makes me want to do the exact same.”
