“This course is great. The video material is full of information and Jesse does a great job in explaining all the subjects. The slack channel is really awesome, and the fact that you are divided into smaller mentor groups makes connecting very easy.”

“I'm really enjoying having a mentor to help guide me through product design. Design is a very subjective skill, so in no way is everyone going to agree with your work. However, having a mentor really helps speed up the process of becoming better and always having someone to be that support is awesome.”
