"The online video course was very helpful in several ways. First the video clips as real life examples paired with the explanations were great. They sometimes mean so much more than just text explanations. Secondly Anne is clear in her explanations and reasoning for doing something. The online video option worked extremely well for me because I was able to rewatch certain sections or entire videos if needed. Overall this was a very positive experience."
