Student review
10/10. I was already certain I wanted to go into a creative career, but this course has made me consolidate what I want to learn about in college. My mentor and I covered a wide range of topics, and I was able to spend more time on the ones I found most interesting. My mentor was collaborative, and she helped me learn so much more. Not only did I learn about the topic, but I developed tools to continue my learning into other time periods which is very valuable to me.
