Rather confusing and difficult for me to follow. I never finished the course nor used the software. I eventually learned on my own that I could accomplish my goals using LibreOffce. Adobe products were unnecessary, so I did not buy them or use the training.

She is such a thorough and well paced instructor. I have another course with her, and I think she is an excellent instructor. Great instructor for bringing beginners up to speed and then taking them into the advanced subject matter. Thank you!

It was a great class. It was practical and engaging, plus the instructor pointed out shortcuts in almost every functionality -- many I'd never seen before. This class not only helped me understand how InDesign works, it also helped me better understand how and why it works differently than PS or AI. I'll definitely be more efficient in InDesign, and therefore able to enjoy it that much more. I will also be looking for more classes from this instructor. Thank you!
