The course so far is very engaging. I just did another course which I had to do for work and I could barely keep my eyes open. So, this is a refreshing change. I recently got a part-time job completely different from what I've been doing. It's only seasonal but it's giving me ideas for a new career. I'm glad the instructor said I don't need another degree. Also, I don't feel like I absolutely need to be a master. I have been painting for years as a hobby and I just thought I might do something with this talent I've never used to make any money.

I feel it is a bit outdated and not practical assessments. Some of us learn better by doing, just keep that in mind. Thank you.
