Interactive Learning: our classes are very hands on. The teaching process is generally as follows:
Instructor explains new concept
Instructor shows demo and answers questions
Students do exercise with instructor available for help
Instructor reviews solution and answer questions
During exercises, the instructor is able to (with your permission) see your computer, so he or she can provide one-on-one assistance to help you debug a problem or work through a solution.
