Student Reviews:
"After using Word for a number of years I expected the
introduction course to offer very little in the ways of new
information. I was pleasantly surprised, however, when I not only came
away with far more knowledge than I entered with, but also discovered
quicker methods to achieve a desired result."
"At last--a computer course in language I could understand
by instructors who didn't make me feel like an idiot. Computer
"mysteries" were unlocked and I have stopped hating my computer!"
"Clear, concise, easy to follow instructions even though I
let the lessons pile up and had to play catch-up at the end. I'll know
better next time, but even without taking advantage of the discussion
areas, I feel like I got a good foundation in Word. Am definitely
planning on another on-line course, preferably with this instructor."
"Covered a lot without being confusing. Very well laid out."
"Great course. Even though I was fairly familiar with Word I definately learned a lot from this course."
"Great course to learn Microsoft Word. Each lesson well written, easy to follow and understand."
"I can't say enough good about this course. And, quite
frankly, I can't think of any criticisms at all. The right amount of
relevant material was covered in each lesson, the quizzes were helpful,
the instructor's writing style was easy to understand, and I learned A
LOT. I'm looking forward to taking Intermediate Word from the same
instructor."

"I enjoyed taking this course on Microsoft Word. The lessons
were clear and easy to understand. I like the convenience of the
on-line instruction. This course helped to update my job skills."
"I enjoyed the instructors' style of teaching. I needed this
course to help me learn Word and not struggle any more. Many of us
simply don't have the time to sit in a classroom so this forum (online)
for me was the only answer. It met and exceeded my expectations. I will
be signing up for more classes."
"I enjoyed this course and learned a lot about using
Microsoft Word. The lessons offered a wealth of information and hands
on experience, presented in an easy to use and interesting format. I am
no longer intimidated by on-line courses and will take many more in the
future. Thanks for a great experience."
"I enjoyed this instructor's sense of humor found in between
explaining the lessons. This humor was good on the days when I became a
little stressed with a lesson. I also liked how well the instructor was
able to develop the lessons into an easy step-by-step process."
"I enjoyed this very much. I have already started on the
next level. I wish I had started taking these courses earlier in the
year. I have a new job and the knowledge would have made my adjustment
easier. But that is ok...I plan on catching up with these courses and
extra hard work. Thanks loads! It is just so good for my self esteem,
sense of confidence etc etc...when most of my friends are "retiring" I
am having an absolute ball learning and working as hard as I can and I
am enjoying every minute of it. Besides...I landed my dream job...AT MY
AGE!!!"
"I enjoy Mr. Power's style. His lessons are easy to
understand. Looking forward to Microsoft Word - Intermediate and other
courses he may have."
"I found this class very helpful!! Some of my friends
thought they could teach me everything - but no way. There is a lot to
cover and it was presented in a way you could follow along and
understand everything completely. It was worth my time!! Keep up the
good work!!"
"I had read the enthusiastic comments by former students and
was impressed and curious, so I registered for the class. The price
also attracted me! I was very pleased with the class materials, the
instructor, and the whole set-up of the class. Online learning is
convenient and painless. You don't have to worry about asking a
"stupid" question, because nobody knows you! Lessons are divided into
manageable chunks, and are well-organized. I learned a lot, and highly
recommend this class."

instructor, and the whole set-up of the class. Something that I didn't
realize was that in an online class, students can't distract or
interrupt the teacher with irrelevant questions! That is what the
Discussion Area is for. Online learning is convenient and painless. You
don't have to worry about asking a "stupid" question, because nobody
knows you! Lessons are divided into manageable chunks, and are
well-organized. I learned a lot, and highly recommend this class."
"I have already begun the Intermediate Class and look
forward to learning more Microsoft Word applications. While working
very late at night I enjoyed learning about the zoom option and I
really laughed at the anecdotes. Thank you for making learning fun."
"I have always preferred the interaction of the classroom;
therefore, I was hesitant to take a computer course on-line. The
writing style of this instructor made the course very enjoyable as well
as informative. I will definitely take another on-line course and will
recommend this on-line course to others. Thank you very much."
"I really enjoyed taking this class.... The instructor made
the lessons fun, and I looked forward to every Wednesday and Friday. I
have used Microsoft Word for a few years, but I still learned a LOT of
things. Thanks for a great class!"
"I really enjoyed the class, especially the ability to go at my own pace."
"I really enjoyed this course very much and I felt it was
presented in a very logical and sequenced manner. Thank you for
providing this type of online instruction."
"I really had a lot of fun taking this on-line course, it is
my first! I did not know a single thing before I started this course
about microsoft word, so the teacher must be good! I am one of those
people who had electric typewriters in high school, and never took a
computer course before, so I am feeling pretty good."
"I really learned a lot from this course. This was a great
step by step learning experience. I will recommend this course to
others who are in need of Microsoft Word knowledge."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I found it interesting and
easy to follow. I especially liked the convenience of taking it online
at home. I have learned so much and by printing every lesson I now have
a reference book to help me if I have any problems in the future. Thank
you very much, I look forward to taking other online courses."

at home for a couple of years and am about to re-enter the work force.
There were many shortcuts and add'l information I was not aware of.
Thanks!"

already recommended this class to a number of people. Thank you all for
your time and effort on this course."

taking an online course. I learned a great deal and plan to take more
online courses with this particular instructor over the next few
months."
"The final exam made me search for the correct answers. I feel it made me really think and seek and therefore learn."
"The lessons were well written in an easy to understand
format and helped make the learning experience enjoyable. I found that
the lessons were just about all I could handle with my schedule and
appreciated the extra two weeks time to get it all accomplished. I feel
a little more confident in my computer abilities. I know that if I
forget any of these techniques in the future I have the knowledge at my
fingertips to find the answers quickly. This course has already made
things a little easier in my job."
"The teacher was certainly very knowledgeable in this
subject. He explained everything in a very easy to understand format.
This course really helped me feel more comfortable working with Word."
"This course has been a great help to me in my new job. I've
really enjoyed it and look forward to taking the Intermediate class."
"This course is great! I cannot tell you how much I learned
right from the start. I am more confident in my position at work and
work smarter instead of harder now. I struggled at work for so many
years everyday. I am so thankful this course was available. I am
planning on taking more on-line courses. Thank you so much."
"This course was excellent! I will be taking other courses
and recommending these courses to others that I know. They were easy to
understand. One of by biggest fears was that I wasn't going to get it,
but I did."
"This course was great! I didn't realize how little I knew about using Word. This course exceeded my expectations."
"This instructor explained the task so I could easily
understand it. I had no prior experience. I like the way he continued
to build on each task and repeated the same way to do everything even
when he had touched on it prior. This helped me to remember the task."
"This was a very good course. I loved it very much, and the
instructor was very easy to understand and helped me very much. He was
wonderful."
"This was my first experience with an on-line course and
found the course content and format to be easy to understand,clearly
written and specific. I really appreciated the flexibility to study and
test on my time."
"Very good course. Easy to follow."
