thank you All for the opportunity and privilege of attending the campus and course.
Highly recommend this course. Angel was an incredible instructor!
Overall this course was helpful. Though it was very hard to stay engaged due to there only being a power point slide on the screen everyday. Should this change and actually have the students engage in more than just power point slides it would be hugely impactful. The labs that are created are okay though they become repetitive and a lot of students end up just skipping everything, searching for the answer and continuing on without doing all the steps within the lab due to the repetitiveness of the labs. Would wholeheartedly recommend reconfiguring your labs to be more impactful and engaging.
