Testimonials: "The instructor:student ratio was fantastic - this was the first course where I felt like I actually learned the basics about the software to make my ideas a reality... it really was one of the best courses I have ever taken" | "The only bad thing about this course is now I am considered a guru among my lab and collaborators!" | "This course is an excellent introduction to improving our science education skills. The nearly equal emphasis between lecture and practice is very helpful"
