It was a really great class and I would really like to take another. It ended too soon. A. Powers **** The instructor was very flexible and took time out of her busy schedule to help catch me up when I got behind. She kept in contact with her students throughout the class. It helped to have an instructor who believed in us and was there for us when we needed her. She was one of the best instructors and it's been a privilege to have gotten to know her and work with her. K. Mescher **** It was a good challenge. S. Fravel **** I liked the informal nature of the workshop. We had a diverse group of students and Carol catered to each individually. D. Sprague **** Thanks for making this class available for the two of us! A. Daurelle **** Carol is quite knowledgeable and experienced. Her approach is a no-nonsense-straight-forward style. She is understanding and compassionate without being too emotional. D. Wentworth
