The assignments could look difficult in the beginning, but once you understand that this is exactly what you will do in your future job, you find enough motivation to go through it and do a wonderful job.

I think the most important thing incoming students can do to succeed is to make a work plan with all of the due dates laid out first, always be looking ahead, and always be looking for inspiration/outside sources so you can bring your best work while you have a dedicated Ed Team/Cohort to present to. This course is mainly an opportunity to be challenged, and to learn from the Ed team's experiences/inputs. And in the end, you will have a wildly large network to work within in your job search. I don't want to use the phrase "you get out what you put in" because I think it suggests those who don't feel like they thrived in this course didn't put in the work, and that's not a fair assessment; This course has an aggressive timeline and an aggressive workload. See it as an opportunity to ask questions, and to push the boundaries of what you think you are capable of.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

I wanted to reconfirm and give myself a structure of the product management and product lifecycle by actually undertaking the each step in the process. I will say that is exactly what this course enabled me to do. Starting from actual strategic review and conceptual thinking and then rolling up my sleeves and actually doing the work from inception to product delivery - I'd say this was a great experience. The course instructors actually practice what they preach and can provide real-life context. Having some product exposure from my career from various roles myself; I can say that they touch on accurate concepts. Thought leadership, context and continuous learning opportunities all make BrainStation a good value. The two instructors are also very friendly, personable and can break down complex concepts into small and digestible ideas.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

My teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and patient (shout out to Nathan Feifel and Wesley Pyen)! The class was structured in a way that fostered in depth growth, but also allowed us to work on our own and practice if we wanted. I learned about excel basics, but then dived into SQL, Tableau, and then Data visualization. I loved how we were able to work on our final projects for a bit in class the last few weeks and have our teachers undivided attention. The campus itself was so beautiful and all the staff were incredibly nice. It was so nice to be in a physical classroom again!

Luckily, I came up with a very nice cohort. Educators are so knowledgeable and helpful. TA's assistance are so prompt and effective. I enjoyed not only the learning process but also the way I cooperated with my classmates. There are some hackers who are always willing to help. There are also green hands like me who encouraged me a lot. We had gone through the days with many lectures and difficult projects and we succeeded in two hackthons together. Our courses are up-to-date, and there are timely quiz and assignment. We have different pods every 2-3 weeks, which gave us a good chance to cooperate with different people. Every day, we communicate in morning challenge and code labs. For the projects, we got stand-up meeting every day. This help me to have a better understanding of the real work situation.
