I had a great experience at the 1-week long General Assembly product management intensive. I have experience in web development and found that I was learning non-stop during the week-long course, and feel proud of what my team came up with in our final project.

I had a great experience at the 1-week long General Assembly product management intensive. I have experience in web development and found that I was learning non-stop during the week-long course, and feel proud of what my team came up with in our final project.
Perks:
Instructors (David & Vince) were terrific. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable on the topics, but they also were great teachers and had a clear passion for what they were covering. They were the best part of the course, by far!
Team project environment made the course engaging. Everything we were learning applied directly to the project that we were working on. Individual assignments were organized in an intelligent way to build up to the finished final project.
Feedback on work was great. David looked through the assignments critically, giving insights on how to improve it and worked personally with our team to improve our work.
Lectures on topics were clearly prepared and covered the topics in depth.
Cons:
At my full-time job, I kept some responsibilities and worked over email before & after class and on our lunch breaks. Given the course material, homework, and intensity of the course, this was a little overwhelming. I would strongly suggest ensuring you have no other responsibilities when taking this week-long intensive.
Overall the course was great. Worth the price of tuition and then some. Thanks David & Vince!!
