The touchstones were more difficult than I expected.
by Shree H. on July 25, 2024
Thank you Sophia for being detailed in explaining how to solve the problems.
by DeAngelo M. on July 25, 2024
Relatively easy for the first three sections if you have previous experience with MySQL or MariaDB this lesson should be a breeze. Section 4 is the only one that makes my brain tremble in fear.
by Anaya H. on July 25, 2024
I thought this ethics course was fun, and very interesting. It was my first study of any kind at all of ethics, and I feel that I now have good idea of ethics and understand it at a good level for my current position in school. I learned much about ethics, and had to work to understand it, but in the end it was worth it to have such an understanding of ethics. I really liked this course.
by Anaya H. on July 25, 2024
It felt like one of the easier courses partly because it did not have any touchstones, it also just felt easier than other courses because it was not hard to follow along with what it was saying in the lessons. I learned a lot about the environment and how we affect it, it was sad to read about how badly we have taken care of the planet over the last century, but inspirational to read about how we are working to help the environment. Overall, I really liked this course.
