I've taken online collage courses but never anything close to this format. It is personal and engaging. I am glad to be here and I think you get out of it what you put in. The format is scheduled, the syllabus is clear, and the teacher is wise. Triple threat.

The instructor is very good understanding our questions and his answers are always spot on. I also like a lot the fact that it is a live class and we can all interact. The content is also very good, I don't come from analytics at all and I find the content advance but accessible.
