Reviews
Thank you for such a wonderful learning experience!!!
Wonderful content delivery and appropriate academic level for people new to informatics delivery.
This was a great course. It was indepth and very thorough for my beginner skillset. I have enjoyed Dr. Lehmann's courses a great deal.
Learned that there are different ways to input and access information through a system. Also the types of thought processes on how to achieve the outcome.
