Great
by Madeline P. on September 16, 2025
It's always a good advantage to study the laws that affect your life in every way. This course was great because, although it focused on business law, it also spoke of our courts, both civil and criminal comparisons and the good old Constitution of this great country! I loved it!

Great and i love the tutorials
by Noor K. on September 16, 2025
This was a great refresher for those looking to catch up on calculus after a few years outside university.
