Fantastic online course! The material was presented in a easy to understand and organized manner, regular quizzes facilitated comprehension, and the online format allowed for completion at a convenient pacing. Plus, nobody complained about me not wearing pants during class, which is a recurring issue with traditional classroom settings for qualifying education courses. I would recommend this course and format to anyone requiring continuing/qualifying education credit or those strongly opposed to pants.
