    Solid Course

    Course provided a great overview of SQL but I would have liked this course at a faster pace. For example, I feel like the 3 hour course could be condensed down into 2 with the last hour being optional if additional assistance is wanted

    Good introduction to Product Management

    I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of what a PM does and how to do it. If you come from a tech background (e.g. Software Engineer, UI/UX, etc), then portions of the content will not be new. Good opportunity to network in you do it in person. Also, if you have a software business idea you have not taken the first step in then I would recommend taking this course. There was some disconnect with the curriculum.

    This was a whirlwind experience but I’m so grateful for all I have learned. Definitely not for the faint of heart, you will not have any free time. But if you are willing to fully commit to the process you will come out on the other side with a wealth of new knowledge, ready to take the next step in your career.

I loved learning and receiving feedback regularly because it definitely helped me become more confident in my skills and train my UX design eye. I really enjoyed my class atmosphere and everyone was so friendly from the other classes as well ;)
