Student Feedback
The live aspects of this class are very helpful to the comprehension of the material.
I love the EVP classes because there are firm due dates so you cannot procrastinate doing assignments.
I thought in the beginning that it was going to be another boring English class, but I was pleasantly surprised. The class is actually really fun and interesting.
