| "I am very stubborn and was extremely hesitant about taking a multimedia course, to the point that the Academy had to designate a 'question answerer' for me before I would even agree to take the course. After having taken the Life & Health course in the live format previously, I found that with the multimedia version, my quiz scores were higher & I left the Academy feeling more confident with my grasp of the material. As for the designated 'question answerer' I didn't even need her. And I never would have believed it if I didn't live it for myself." - Lee Biedrychi, VADA Register Now! |
