    Data Science Immersive Full Time

    Its a course that covers every topic in data science, the course goes for 12 weeks, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, there are 2 lectures and 2 labs to cover in a day, + 4 projects to do and a capstone project. Very intensive, but people there make it enjoyable to come to class, and with a happy hour, it makes it even better.

    UX Design Review

    The course was awesome. A lot of resources and materials were provided. The instructors were willing to help find job placement which is a huge plus. I am not familiar with basic coding so I wish there were a couple of classes that focused on that like html and css. That would be a huge plus. I woiuld definitely recommend that people take the course at General Assembly.

    User Experience Design

    This program lets students learn everything from how to approach a problem, come up with a hypothesis and a potential solution, and how to test it to see it is feasible. (Highly focused in digital platform) Very informative results. I have taken part time night courses and it was very good but time consuming and tiring. Don't do it if you are not ready for the commitment of work load other wise you'd be influencing the whole class badly. I wish there was more time to work on projects and a...

    User Experience Design Immersion Course (Singapore)

    The good

    When you decide to pursue a UXDI course, you need to manage your expectation that courses like this are a silver bullet for getting UX know-how. These 10 weeks are a start to the UX journey and as that start, the General Assembly UXDI course is great. The format is a 9-5 full time course for 10 weeks. You complete 5 projects, with a final project doing work with real client. It's a safe space to fail and learn. But you need to have the initiative and thirst for knowledge...

    Learned far more than I had expected!

    When I signed up for this class, I thought I'd learn a few useful tidbits about how to analyze data, but I learned SO MUCH MORE. Plus, now I feel equipped to continue learning Tableau, SQL, and Excel on my own. I'm especially interested in learning SQL outside of class; I've read multiple articles on how it's one of the most pervasive programming languages today.

    UX Design Immersive

    I attended the UX Design Immersive program in March of 2015. Overall it was an incredibly efficient, informative, and effective introduction to User Experience. Critical thinkers with some background or knowledge in web related fields excelled in this class. Steeper learning curve for those who were less familiar or struggled with putting themselves in other people's shoes. Lots of resume and portfolio help, with relationships with area companies hiring for UX was also a plus. Launched a s...

    Online JavaScript Circuit

    This was a class I took to learn the fundamentals of JavaScript so that I could apply it towards my work covering APIs. The course we set up for students to succeed with a lot of hand holding through each lesson. This is not a bad thing especially given that we were doing the course from home. By far the most valuable part was the 1:1 sessions with my mentor Sonyl. He was patient and prepared and almost always able to help me figure out the  answers to my questions.
