“The guided exercises were essential for learning and providing concrete examples, but I would absolutely maintain the flexible pedagogy [e.g., responding to questions, proffering interesting shortcuts or workflows]. The combination enhanced the richness of the course and made the content more engaging. Outstanding course all around and we had an excellent instructor.”

“I thought everything went really well. Our instructor was so knowledgeable and clearly knew what she was doing. She was able to help everyone and troubleshoot our issues instead of us having to just miss parts of the casework. I loved the hands-on training, and I actually preferred this method of training [online] to in-person because I could see what was happening on her end much better than when I took the course in person. Even though the course was online, I felt like we all had a good banter with one another, and we all participated well. I liked the class size as well. It made it more personalized. The PLX platform is so cool and I really hope I can use it soon.”

“The course was a fantastic learning experience. I learned a lot about the PLX system, which just a few weeks ago was a foreign beast to me that I couldn’t even begin to comprehend. The trainers made the learning experience simple and engaging. I had a lot of fun learning about PLX and its capabilities.”
