    The course was everything you said it would be, fun but a lot of work. And it was! I enjoyed the online interactions because they were a lot of fun and easy to understand. And the answers were usually somewhere in the text. I also liked the examples that she presented which will be helpful in future. Sometimes articles aside from the reading book gave me a better idea and understanding of the subject. I never expected to learn so much from an online class; I now see the cancer in a whole new way. I know I could have done better, but in the end I learned that an online class could be as much work or more than a regular class. However, I still enjoyed it very much. We also learned the do's and don't a women should do in her life
