28.   Additional Comments
good
N/A
I think that the sections on meteor/semantic ui/react go very quickly and blend into eachother. Would be nice to spend 2 weeks on each instead of one.
Great course, 10/10 would take again.
This course was very time consuming, but great in teaching us everything.
I don't think TA was really helpful. I was able to see him during the WODs only.
The only part about this course that I do not think I gained a firm grasp on was learning how to properly merge different branches together. I was able to accomplish merging about half the time but there were not many resources for this issue. Other than that I would suggest adding slightly clearer instructions for the WODs. This is because during the duration of the first few WODs I was unaware that we were able to refer to our practice WODs / outside resources which I later learned after several WODs had passed.
I love the challenge and the structure of this class. WODs are a refreshing and painful experience that will leave you in a pool of sweat while thinking "wooh, it works!".
Overall great class.

Could've explained concepts more.
