Shared Review
- Web Development Immersive / Product Manager- 1/10/2018Dennis L • Product Manager • Graduate • Course: Web Development Immersive • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
I can't thank General Assembly enough for the great experience that I had. Prior to GA, I was working a retail job where I wasn't feeling fullfiled with the work I was doing. At the time, I was also self-learning how to code through Codeacademy, free tutorials from Apple's iBooks, and attending meet-up events after work. One morning while riding the subway to work, I came upon an advertisement that would encourage me to take the leap into changing my career.
General Assembly's Web Development Immersive course is a challenging course where you'll be coding from 9-5 with about 2-3 hours of homework that is due at 10pm. They make it clear to you from day 1 that WDI is no joke. I strongly recommend spending about 1-3 months preparing before you decide to take the course. Instructors won't always hand hold you so if you are not the self-learning type, this may be a very challenging course for you. Although I don't consider myself as someone who is an amazing programmer, I sat next to individuals in class who were. Choosing who you sit next to in class is quite important when you need help debugging or just catching up with what instructors are going through. I also highly recommend finding friends that you can work with after class in completing assignments. After all, software is a team sport.
In terms of job opportunities, I had known from the beginning that I wanted to go into a more business/tech role. I discovered the route of technical product management and expressed that to my career coach (who was super awesome by the way) and Outcomes manager earlier on. Learning how to code has opened up many doors for me. Currently, I just landed a role in PM so everything worked out in the end!
There are some people who has complained about GA but the reality is that if you are willing to put in the effort great things will happen! You can't expect to learn everything in the span of 12 weeks so instructors really do a great job at teaching students how to learn on their own as well as in team environments. I remember going to GA everyday (including the weekends) because I was 100% committed to succeeding in this course. I thoroughly enjoyed the time that I had there. Thank you General Assembly!
- Ok- 1/15/2021Brian Blankenship • Graduate • Course: Software Engineering Immersive - Remote • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInInstructors
Many of the instructors are recent grads themselves. In one way, this is smart because it ensures that information is new and relevant, and you aren't being taught deprecated or soon-to-be deprecated material (out-of-date, no longer supported). The bad side to it is you aren't going to get help with things outside of their experience, compared to an institution that hires instructors that are seasoned in their fields.
Feedback on deliverables (homework that you're expected to turn in) is going to be random. At first, feedback comes consistently, but as the course gets to around the halfway mark the instructors just stopped providing feedback. Even a month past grad, I am still waiting for feedback on my last three projects (out of 4). At this point, I am 100% sure I'm not going to get any.
Curriculum
The curriculum is good enough to serve as a solid foundation for your journey into the world of programming and depending on how well you picked it up, even land a job soon after completing the course. They do their best to at least ensure that the curriculum is modern and up-to-date or at least still valid. They teach you enough that you can confidently build a web application from scratch on your own by the end of the course. However, there are some caveats.
Sometimes the course material is too new, and the instructors themselves haven't gone through it themselves prior to the course. So help in these materials is going to depend on instructor experience. In most cases, they won't automatically know the correct answer to a problem but will help you troubleshoot. For my cohort, the last project had three options that have never been done before, they were new to the course. None of the instructors had any experience or knowledge about the subject, and as such, was a mutual learning experience for both student and instructor.
Overall
Most of the cohort was great for me. Other than the lack of feedback (which I suppose the instructors just felt I didn't really need). However, because of a situation another student has had, I can't in good conscience give the instructors high ratings. In the last couple of weeks of the course, he had gotten COVID and was unable to complete the final project (per policy, in order to graduate you have to complete and meet the minimum requirements of each project). The instructors and up would not give an exception and thus would not let him graduate.
COVID or no COVID, they should have either just excused him from the final project or worked out some kind of arrangement that would let him turn in the final project post-grad. It was wrong to say the least.
- Excellent Product Management course- 12/29/2020Glen Schneider • Product Manager • Student • Course: Product Management Immersive • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInAs I said in the title this course is simply fantastic.
It is well structured with a project that you work on along side learning the theory. This really embeds what your learning and gives you a solid foundation to understand Product Management.
Course content that was provided is also really useful to take away. I did this course via distance learning and although it is an intense week, all the tools provided worked well and I never felt I was missing out.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to work in Product management.
- Product Management- 12/28/2020Robert Friedman • Application Consultant • Student • Course: Product Management (Part-time) • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInMy experience was overall outstanding. I got a great education, lots of follow up material, and the ability to practice my skills as a product manager. I'm excited to see where my career takes me from here. I do wish there were more resources to help with resume shaping and product management interviews.
- Amazing Community and Instructors- 12/26/2020Mark Calvelo • Web Engineer Intern • Graduate • Course: Software Engineering Immersive • Campus: Los Angeles • Verified via LinkedIn
Pros- Lots of Technologies to Learn
- Staff was very friendly
- Free Coffee, Tea, Food (Sometimes)
- 300Mbps+ internet
- Can be used as Co-working space after leaving the Program
- Local Instructor and Instructional Associates were dedicated to the classroom
Cons- Loud events sometimes on Weekdays
- Sometimes Cohort Leaders sent to help out at another room
- Some instructions on GitHub Enterprise (repositories for classwork) need to be updated
- 40 hour prep work was inadequate for less experienced students
Advice to Management- Leaders of each Cohort/Team should spend all of their time for 12 weeks of a Cohort, not being forced to jump to others randomly in-between
- Pre-work should contain an additional 30 hours of prep work (70 hours total) in Ruby/Python that focuses on Object-Oriented Programming: Abstraction and Encapsulation, Classes, Inheritance, Polymorphism
- Great course, great teachers!- 12/21/2020Cara • Course: Digital Marketing (Part-time) • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI've completed the 1 week digital marketing course and I'm so glad I've done it. This is the second course I've done with GA and they are always very well organised and have fantastic teachers. It's never dull learning with GA, thank you! They provided different learning mediums to ensure everyone is catered for, which being dyslexic I really appreciate. They could have done more in the pre-communication to make sure I was fully prepared and organised for the class. So just make sure you ask how to best prepare in order to get the most out of the course a few weeks before hand.
- Product Manager- 11/23/2020Juliane Rossi • Product Manager • Course: Product Management (Part-time) • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInGeneral Assembly created a very easy-to-follow workflow for the classes. It was a very 'hands-on' approach, where we could put into practice all we learned. A very good comprehensive course, yet easy to follow. The instructors were phenomenal! Since they are real professionals working with the topics on a daily basis, they could give us a real insight into the professional day-by-day scenarios and examples. They were always available for that extra support as well. I'm really pleased with this course!
- Great program but lacks a lot online- 11/19/2020Sierra • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Immersive • Campus: San Francisco • Verified via LinkedInI finished the UXDI course online and I think its a great program, but it lacks a lot of the in person experience that doesn't make it very worth it. If you thrive in a classroom setting, consider skipping online to either wait for campuses to reopen or take a course with a cheaper school.
Each campus does things differently, so there's a disconnect of what some people got for opportunities ot experiences than others. Upon being accepted, I was informed the online experience would be no different than in person, but it does lack a lot of that networking and informational experience you would get.
Outcomes helps you with your job materials and searching, but it can be a bit disconnected from your instructors (like learning something in class you covered from outcomes a month ago). Not to mention, different locations will handle things differently. Others got to do a sprint working with developers and engineers to complete a project, but our class only got a three day outcomes sprint, which wasn't nearly as good as that would've been.
Other than the negatives, if you like remote learning and can devote 3+ months to GA, I'd recommend them, just know its a lot of work and dedication. You'll meet great people and brilliant instructors.
My advice would be to start crafting your portfolio and network as early as you possibly can. Portfolios are worked on later in the course and it can be a lot to try and write case studies and design a website layout at the same time. Get the layout done first and make sure you get pictures of everything as you work. Hiring managers and recruiters like to see a lot of pictures!
- User Experience Design Immersive- 11/10/2020Jordan Albano • UX Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Immersive • Campus: Boston • Verified via LinkedInI had an excellent time in my 12-week immersive bootcamp through General Assembly. I felt like the pacing was adequate, the lectures were rich with information, and the structure was strong. In this field it is hard to grasp the ambiguity of it all, but as you push through it becomes easier and easier and you begin to realize that it all comes together. My instructional team was always there when needed and gave helpful advice. I felt accepted and even praised for my human experience. This is a field of endless opportunities and I feel like my time at GA was well spent!
- Software Engineering- 10/8/2020Adane H. Nigus • Developer • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI took soft ware Engineering Immersive program in GA. generally it is very interesting courses with very help full instructors
- SEI- 10/2/2020sean • Student • Course: Software Engineering Immersive - Remote • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubHonestly, this course isn't worth it. The instructors fly through the material and only offer minimal support. The TA's are great, but sometimes lazy. The outcomes program, and student success portion of the program is an absolute joke. It really just felt like they got your money, and that's all that matters to them. It definitely depends on your instructor, but unfortunately I was stuck with an awful unit 1 instructor, so by unit 2 I was already so lost and couldn't follow along.
Some of the staff are very condescending and demoralizing when you reach out to them about issues that you're having. They talk down to you a lot, and when you speak up for yourself they have a lot of issues with it and kind of bully you. I withdrew from the course because I was intimidated by the staff (not the instructors) and they said they don't give refunds.
- Review about the school- 9/25/2020Mahi • Verified via LinkedInWow, it is really the best academy with full of humble staff members and best instructors who teaches in way you can understand ,who encourages you through out the program.Now I am confident thanks to GA I can do anything in SE field.
-you do project almost everyday
- you present it
-you do team projects everyday
-you got help from instructors through out the week
All in all i just want to say thanks to GA and God Bless to all instructors, i will definitely recommend to my community.
- A good investment- 9/23/2020Ahmed Ali • Director, International Digital Enrollment • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics (Part-Time) • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInI have always been interested in learning more about data analysis, but finding a suitable program was a challenge. I was recommended to attend a series of webinars held by GA to learn the difference between data science and analytics. After the sessions, I was able to pin down the program choice.
I then was able to easily connect with an advisor from GA who made himself accessible to share as much information on the program, process, and fees (smooth). He took the time to learn about my goals and motivation to enroll in the program, he then shared advice on the most suitable course format to match my learning style. Great enrollment journey!
The instructor and support staff were very accomodating and gave us time, and made us feel welcomed. More importantly, they were patient with the class knowing that many have been out of school for a while. The content was spot on what was mentioned in the description, industry-related skills that you can pick up or polish as you go (what you see is what you get). Challenging, frustrating at times, but the instructor and staff helped us push through. Always providing feedback on what went well and what to improve on. The course carried 3 projects which continuously push you to learn and practice what you learn in class.
It was more learning a skill VS GA helping/supporting you with career opportunities. Surely it would have been amazing to have 1-1 chats with a coach/career counselor on how to tackle the potential employers in a certain location etc. Maybe this would be feedback for GA. I am looking forward to learning more about GA Alumni community and the kind of continuous learning opportunities.
The course wasn't the cheapest, I wasn't company-sponsored so it was a decent investment. GA helped by offering an installment plan, but I wish they would consider individual students and offer them some sort of price reduction during uncertain times. Other than that I would strongly recommend GA and the DA course.
