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.

Some tips for future students: 1-Do the homework and put in extra time outside the class to really understand the material. 2-Get to know your instructors. I cannot stress enough how helpful my teaching assistant (Daniel) was. He was always eager to help before class and via email. The instructors here really want you to excel and understand the course material.
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...
I attended the UX Design Immersive program in March of 2015. Overall it was an incredibly efficient, informative, and effective introduction to User Experience.

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 successful UX career for me, have been employed for over 2 years and have gotten many inquiries from recruiters and companies looking to interview me.
I was thrilled with the class. I am a career changer and felt like the course laid out the basics of Digital Marketing from start to finish. I feel confident and fully equipped to transition my career. The course also included core business fundamentals and I really appreciated that. Thank you!
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.

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. Whenever we couldn't come to an answer in the time allowed, he always made himself available by email and I sent him tons of questions that way. One of the few downsides to the course was that the in browser coding platform was very much tied to a particular answer. Often there would be multiple ways of correctly solving a problem but if you didn't do it the way the platform was expecting, you'd get error messages. That led to some frustration at times until I figured out that the error messages often pointed you in the expected direction.
Product Management part-time 10-week course. Instructors were great and cirriuculum was informative. However, GA hasn't done to help graduates of that course (and many courses in general as I heard from others) with job opportunities.
I decided on taking the course through Genera Assembly based on it's general reputation and the fact that I knew a few people who had completed the course, albiet in other cities, to much career success. Overall, I am quite pleased with my decision as I started my new job about 2 months after finishing the course and I really love what I do now. The curriculum was challenging and fast-paced, and there was always someone on-hand to help if I didn't understand a concept. I know the cohort af...
I decided on taking the course through Genera Assembly based on it's general reputation and the fact that I knew a few people who had completed the course, albiet in other cities, to much career success. Overall, I am quite pleased with my decision as I started my new job about 2 months after finishing the course and I really love what I do now. The curriculum was challenging and fast-paced, and there was always someone on-hand to help if I didn't understand a concept. I know the cohort after mine ran with an updated curriculum. This shows that the staff does take into account the needs of the industry and sets up its students to fill the present gaps. I found this slightly frustrating as I wish they had implemented these changes sooner. My instructor was super knowledgable and experienced. He always did a great job of explaining concepts, oftentimes having to present the same ideas in different ways to ensure that everyone understood what was going on. He encouraged a lot of questions and it was very rare to see him get frustrated with us students not understanding a lesson. The job assistance provided was also really helpful. The careers team did a great job helping us translate our past experience into something that sounded good to employers, though they did some overwhelmed by the sheer number of students they had to help.
Overall, as I said, I am quite pleased with this course. I learned a lot...or at least enough to help me secure a job in web development (there's so much to learn!). I think my biggest complaint is that I'm not sure it's a super selective program, and some of the student did not take the course as seriously as others. This put a strain on the instructors who were sometimes forced to cater to students who hadn't done their homework, or didn't pay as much attention in class, instead of the students who really wanted to learn and springboard their new careers. As I said, I was hired quite quickly post course so this idea didn't affect me too much, but I know a few studnets, along with myself, did feel quite frustrated by the stalling in class more than a few times throughout the course. I believe this feedback was given to the team and steps have been planned to rectify for future courses, however.
Fast-paced, comprehensive program. I met a lot of really cool people in my class and, although it was challenging, it was also a lot of fun. GA gave me a good base of skills and taught us how to learn new tech quickly, which is vital for a career in this industry.
Remote experience was excellent and way better then I'd expected. We were still able to have group/partnered activities and engage with the instructor. The teacher, Aditi Joshi is a true master of her field and was a honest pleasure to learn from. The course was the perfect size and the content was dynamic. It felt as contemporary, new and ahead of the trend as possible. I really, really enjoyed it!
This course was really fast paced and difficult, but I learned more in a short period of time than I ever have in my life. We learned to use Python programming to apply statistics and predictive modeling techniques on real sets of data. If you've know Python or R and are interested in learning foundational level Data Science, this course is perfect for you.
For all of you who are looking for a first approach or a refresh of what's trending with Visual Design, this course is for you.
I loved how we went over all the basics in design and how we had time to have workshops.
Totally worth it!
