I'm really enjoying the class and the amount of resources that are provided. At first it's a bit overwhelming. Yet, once I started digging into all the resources, this program is only setting me up to succeed! We discuss materials, test strategies and real life situations as examples.

I enjoy the energy level Professor Hanlon Brings to the Class!

Hanlon has an impressive depth of knowledge and technical ability. Sometimes she jumps around to find things. She is highly responsive, and if she jumps around, she will go back pending someone reminds her or asks a question. Each question brings extra clarity and important info. She speaks quickly, so pay attention and be ready to ask.
