    A truly wonderful learning experience

    Well mapped out course. Even the assignments were not repetitive and were related to my work. This provided a great learning experience and I was able to understand the fundamentals of being a successful teaching assistant, which was very interesting to me as well. It’s a great course which provided me with an in-depth understanding of the subject.
