Students can discuss the assignments with the instructor and amongst themselves in the classroom area. This format has no set meeting time, which allows students to attend class at a time most convenient to them, yet still provides logically organized communication between class participants. Students can apply for the completion certificate after finishing the class.

Rating

  • "Judy is a very excellent teacher and very helpful. She always answers your questions promptly." - Betty Coppin

  • "Judy has a wonderful way of dealing with the load of the class and the people. She responded quickly to everyone's questions and guided all of us wonderfully. I enjoyed the class and would be interested in a Dreamweaver Intermediate " - Dianne Thomas

  • "I had taken a Dreamweaver class through adult education locally but it did not cover the material this class did. After completing this class I have a much greater understanding of what Dreamweaver can do." - Susan Mattson

  • "Judy clearly knew her subject (Dreamweaver) well, and had created extra learning resources that were very helpful. She was able to add value with practical tips and techniques. Her approach with less experienced learners was very supportive and encouraging.

    In general, about e-classes, as opposed to some other providers, I really appreciate the way information about the syllabuses, materials and instructors is available for visitors to the website to check out before committing to a course. That really helped swing me to signing up with e-classes.org, and now that I've done a course and a half, I feel this was a really good decision. I think e-classes does provide a very good skills improvement service, for people who can find time and commitment for mentored self-study." - Geoff Taylor

  • "This was my first class though eClasses.org, and I loved it. I learned so much that I didn't know even though I use Dreamweaver now. Definitely am looking forward to taking more classes." - Sharon DiPinto

  • "Great class and instructor. Really help me get started." - Steven Van Arsdel

  • "Judy was informed and offered cutting edge advice, giving us lectures that showed she knows the application inside and out. She was quick to answer any question, and analyzed our homework with tips that prepped us for the next assignment. I've never learned a software program so well and so fast. Thanks, Judy. Please offer to teach Advanced Dreamweaver.." - Debbie Dine
