Reviews

"A great class! I look forward to using these new skills in my job." -E.G., Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

This program was great: well-paced, and the content was top-notch. I liked all the lessons. They didn't have any unnecessary filler, and they included great explanations of all concepts. - Connor D.

I learned a lot of useful skills and really liked the quiz-style coding activities. - Lucy K.

Overall, the class was excellent! - John S.

This program exceeded my expectations in that it taught me a variety of methods for solving a problem. It also helped me get familiar with the Jupyter Notebook - something that I'd never heard of before. I liked the fact that the videos followed the lessons and explained the code step-by-step. Some of the things were completely new to me, so having it explained by an instructor made it possible for me to comprehend the more complex concepts. - Jerry C.

Virtual learning is a perfect fit for me. Videos were a nice addition to the traditional "book" education. Everything was up (or down))) to my level. Can't wait to use in in my work! - Veronica L.

The class covered a wide array of workforce skills, and the final course project was challenging, but with the skills learned in the course, I was able to do it. - Stan S.

Python is a wonderful language. Learning to write less lines of code to achieve my requirements is spectacular! Ed2Go was easy to follow and allowed me time to learn a new skill while working! - Tressa W.
