What the students see… I feel like I learned a lot of concepts and how to handle real life situations, which is a strength. But I do not feel prepared at all to take an exam. I didn't learn facts and wasn't really taught anything by the instructor... we learned on our own and the instructor kind of oversaw us. I did learn a lot/how to work in the business world... but I couldn't tell you any facts about anything. Just concepts and ideas.
What the students see… Just concepts and ideas.
