Average rating 4.8
The instructor was very knowledgeable. It was refreshing not having the instructor just read the PPT. Instead, we were given labs throughout for actual hands on training.
Overall, this class was very informative. For my current role, I have to solve problems quite a bit and this course gave me tips on how to start and how to present any solutions.
