    Janet was a great instructor and thoroughly guided us through the course. Prior to signing up, my only knowledge of Media Composer was through an online class I had completed just days before the MEW workshop. This course helped reinforce the knowledge I had and gave me new insights into editing and Media Composer. The only not-so-positive comment I have to make is that it would've been useful to have a disclaimer up front for questions from the students. In some cases, students used the floor to ask questions specific to projects they were working on outside the workshop which took away from the actual course itself. I found that to be distracting and not a good use of time.

    Janet was great! She knew her stuff and explained it in a very clear and concise manner.
