Grateful that a program like this exists to help fill the gap between hardworking people looking to grow but may be missing the traditional qualifications and jobs that need to be filled. My Generation instructor was amazing and even though it was sometimes rough to make it to class everyday when juggling a family and a job, it was all worth it in the end. They set you up for success and build you up in whatever you are lacking. They prepared me and my group, nudged us out of our comfort zone so we could grow and grow we did. I got the job and so did my classmates. We built special bonds with each other. The job preparation was spot on from the resume building and interview tips, to how to succeed within the new role.

Inefficient use of time and unrealistic expectations with group work. Too much time on mindset/behavioral skills at the expense of tech skills that will be asked of us on the job. Need to spend more time on the difficult sections like SEO to make sure everyone learns what is neccessary. Please give the instructor more flexibility to alter the cirriculum for student benefits.

Also, I'm not going to say that she treats adult students like children because as a teacher you shouldn't treat children that way either. She has a total lack of respect.
This is pretty daunting because we've only just started so to think there are several months left with her attitude is making me already dislike this class.
On the other hand I'm glad we have the teaching assistant so I'm just going to go directly to him if I have questions. I'm not sure if this lady has been jaded by previous students, but she needs to change her attitude. This is an opportunity students are supposed to be grateful for, but she's making it unpleasant.Overall3.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors1.0 -
