Her examples and her lectures are great, and I found this course to be very interesting. Overall, not too much work, and I would recommend this course to anyone.",

    "comment": "New teacher in Madison, almost felt as though she was too smart to teach excel. She moved pretty quick sometimes so it can be hard to keep up when she's doing demonstrations with excel, sometimes it was just better to watch and absorb. First half of the course is in excel, the other half is interpreting store data and doing presentations",

I was dreading this course, but the professor made the material easier to understand, and provided a lot of resources (videos, powerpoints, etc) to use outside of class to help. 3 group projects, but she provided great feedback so we could improve every time!",
