Inola H: The class was super helpful! As a CRC with a moderate amount of quantitive analysis experience, I was still able to learn some new things. It's also a great way to make sure that your team is on the right track if you're currently working on a coding project (which we are!). The only suggestion I have it to leave more time to review mixed methods analysis, maybe even make the course 5 sessions long to give the topic the time it deserves!
