Amanda and Breanna were my two instructors. I appreciated their willingness to not sugar coat things. I loved the small class size with 5 students. They were always willing to work 1 on 1 durring skills lab on Saturdays. I liked how when we'd all break away for our different labs both instructors were regularly making their rounds and stopping to demonstrate. The instructors would frequently ask us what online HW we were struggling with so we could do that lab 1st in the morning. I liked hearing about the offices they work in when they would share it. I feel it was relevant and helped me when I was looking for my new office after graduation. Thank you. Read less
