"Dr. Amoakoh was a fantastic teacher. The curriculum was fascinating and well thought out. Due to covid, the class was on zoom but we had great conversations and were challenged each week. The class was more work than I was expecting but I learned so much.. I'd love to do another class with Dr. Amoakoh." - Sarah V.
