I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

Just wondering why the certificate says non credit. I thought these were accredited courses. Maybe the first one isn't. Otherwise, excellent information. I'm excited for the next one.
