Question from Ellie O.
Is there any booklet offered to bring home to go over what it was learned in class, Since the class is only 2 1/2 hours and no recording device is allowed? I have ADHD and remembering everything taught in class will not be possible! Thanks
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Ellie! The school gives a resource guide of a helpful link they mention but they don't have a breakdown of what's covered. Students will have to take notes. Hope this helps.

Overall the class was great. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She was awesome at answering everyone's questions and being mindful of our expectations. My only suggestion is to change the room to a classroom setting with desks.
