GBLots of patience and kindness I've struggled with class environments my whole life. I've never felt so comfortable. Sabina of the staff is incredibly kind, understanding, and very human. Adam was a fantastic person to learn from and ask questions of. He was honest, and he had no problem rephrasing his answers when needed. I struggled outside of class due to personal family concerns, and the accommodations I was given made such a huge difference. I thought I needed to drop out and give up, but I've been given the time needed to pick myself up and prove I deserve the chance offered to me. I don't know if any other words can express the gratitude I have for this opportunity and for the help I received. And now, I feel like I've also been able to make friends, hopefully for the long term, in this class, who also helped me out so much. I genuinely hope other people get to experience what I did.

GBIvy Sang, Industry experience, Portfolio piece I really enjoyed Ivy Sang as teacher. She is the best part of the class. Her industry knowledge plus her candor and personable teaching style makes the class stand out among other UX classes. Juan, who is currently a Tech UI Designer at Bungie was also a great associate instructor. The portfolio piece you get in the end is awesome. And the portfolio feedback was super helpful in learning about communication and design judgement.

GBUpdated: Unethical Business Practice Update: Per the reply, they were able to honor the original course price so I am updating the review. I will update the review again after the course. I was in the process of signing up for a course. I had started the approval process at work to get the course approved based on an invoice they gave me that was due March 7th. When I completed the approval process, the rep informed me they had decided not to honor the original invoice date of March 7th and "updated" the invoice to be a higher cost ($600 more). Since when are invoices "updated" when the company decides to charge more? They have an unethical business practice of baiting in customers with a price and then increasing the price at a later time. They still had seats, they just didn't want to offer them at the cost we agreed on. Overall very unhappy with this experience. I highly doubt the quality of this course given the low quality of their bait and switch business practice. I was lured in with one price and then the price switched before I had a chance to settle on the due date of the invoice. It's probably a good thing I didn't waste my annual tuition funds on this course.

GBGame Writing Course with Adrian Ropp Adrian's game writing course was amazing! I went in with no knowledge about the industry, and I wasn't treated less than because of it. I learned so much from Adrian, the guest speakers, and the assignments. Because of the class, I feel confident enough to apply for game writing jobs, which I couldn't say before the class. Adrian's passion for the field shows, and he wants all of the students to succeed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and just fun. The class also introduced me to some wonderful fellow writers, and it was great being surrounded by other creatives. I highly recommend the class to anyone who's thinking of a career transition. You won't regret it!
