One thing I truly appreciated about this class was that it was a smaller group, with more than one professor, guaranteeing prompt attention to questions and concerns. It is a helpful guide, with tips and practice for the ATA exam, teaching you to recognize errors in your own work, as you work on it.
The instructors are great at giving feedback on completed exercises, and attentive to follow-up questions. Another thing I really liked was the sense of community created by the professors, with them and the other students. Through interactive media platforms (video introductions, virtual meetings, discussion boards and peer reviewed assignments) it made it feel like an on-site class. I didn’t expect to learn so much from my fellow classmates, nor that they would be such an important part to my learning process, but they certainly were. Our instructors worked hard to create a sense of community between us, so that we may start our careers with a base of colleagues whose skills we know and appreciate, and I don’t think every class out there will offer this.
In this class, you can tell the instructors care about your education and about the growth of the program, not just about a paycheck. I hate when I have paid for a class where the instructor is noticeably detached and careless, tossing out assignments “to keep us busy” while they goof off — that was absolutely not the case, in this class.
I highly recommend this option. I feel very fulfilled after taking it and prepared to start my career thanks to it.
