	Anonymous	The course was not what was purported to be. As a novice, I expected an intense, challenging course that would prepare me for a new career. Instead, after 6 months of course work (part of which were online due to the pandemic), I left without a sense of learning anything of value. Most instruction was accompanied by googling information and how to do things. In fact, free web videos from sources like traversy Coding are far more informative and useful. Furthermore, the instructor was unwelcoming to questions or explanations. Instead, he spoke in jargon, went off on tangents, and only provide cheerleading type support. Also, one of the TA's left midway through the course, demonstrating the lack of consistency in the training. At the conclusion of the coursework, career services was completely useless. The only support that they provided was to give a list of jobboards that may have career options. Please learn from my mistake, this coding bootcamp is not worth the $11,000+ or the time.
	Anonymous	The course was sold as a way to get into the tech industry and learn a new trade. I took the initial test and completed the prerequisite work and was truly excited about starting this coding class. The instructor was personable and friendly, but, at the same time also came across as short and unwelcoming towards students who had questions or were unsure of things. The subject matter was quickly covered and not explained nor was there any checking for understanding. In hindsight, I should have been wary of the class when the three requirements for graduation were: 1, complete homework; 2. attend class; 3. PAY tuition. In fact, they were most insistent about the third as, to be honest, not one of my homework projects worked and I still passed the class. Also, and I realize that this was a circumstance that was outside the control of the class, the course was switched to online due to the pandemic. As internet connections from both the instructor and for myself were sketchy at times, this made the course a totally different experience than what I had initially signed up for. In fact, I purposely avoided online bootcamp when looking for a course to take. Projects were assigned, yet most times, they were never functioning, leaving portfolios incomplete at best. After completing this course, career services provided no assistance. All in all, this course was not good.
