	Anonymous	Pros: - I participated in a remote session due to COVID-19. Even though the staff, my cohort mates, and I were remote, a strong sense of community was fostered among the women. Hackbright was thoughtful and intentional in choosing Discord as the platform for communication. - Teaching staff were great. The lead instructor was always able to answer my questions. If a TA was unable to answer my question, then she would look into the question on her off time and get back to me. - Most weekends they give an assessment of what was covered that week. Every assessment took me a long time, but I'm grateful for them because working on the assessments was when a lot of the concepts really clicked. - The last 6 weeks are dedicated to working on a full-stack web application. Cons: - The careers service team was difficult to get a hold of and would convey different information. This was brought to Hackbrights attention. Hackbright was responsive to student complaints and reform is underway, so hopefully, this won't is an issue with future cohorts. - My cohort size was on the larger side with about 35~37 students.
	Anonymous	really great to be in a group of women, all trying to do something difficult- change careers pros: - the instructors really care and want us to learn and are willing to go above and beyond to help us, even staying after hours - there are varying levels of expertise among the TAs and instructors, but there is always someone who can help, no matter what the issue is - great experience building a full-stack web app as well as giving a lightning talk cons: - career services has been spotty, with some people being difficult to reach - given the importance of testing in the workforce, more emphasis may be helpful - it has been difficult to get help in a timely manner, especially during project season
