“ Since it is an online course, I have particularly liked the audio lesson each week. One can often gain a different meaning from hearing something as opposed to just reading it, so I find the audio lessons help me feel I have a better grasp of the material and the assignments. I really wish more of my online instructors utilized this resource.” - ATEC 1203 Student, Summer 2006
