by Ronald B. on June 13, 2026
This was enjoyable and I learned a lot, but it was harder than I thought it would be and took me a considerably longer time than expected.
by Michael C. on June 13, 2026
If you are on the fence about what course to take that will really help you grow look no further! Take Public Speaking!
by Wade C. on June 13, 2026
It was good and challenging. All the information was there if I studied enough I did well. I just wish it wasn’t statistics lol.
by Hugo G. on June 13, 2026
Great SQL course in my opinion. I was better than the one I took in graduate school/
