Past Student Likes The class size itself is smaller, so it is easier to fell more connect[ed] to the instructors. The small groups that the class was broken up into were helpful as far as making personal connections with instructors and getting feedback on my work. Everything in the class was taught well and had great assignments to go along with what we learned. All the assignments helped us get practice in something when applying for jobs. Fantastic course, fantastic teachers, highly recommend more students take this class. It provided me with a lot more clarity about my career development.
Past Student Dislikes A great deal of outside work that was time-consuming. I had to actually examine the state of my life and really contemplate my future. It was not the most pleasant experience, but necessary. It was drawn-out and boring it taught more about careers than I ever wanted to know.
