"I really enjoyed this course. I love the fact that MaxKnowledge believes that learning needs to be interesting, energized and informative. I think that motivating students is the most important part of learning. Keeping even the most intense course fun is essential. It's easier to learn and retain information if it is presented in several different ways such as lecture, videos, games and sometimes pop quizzes to see if the information has been retained by the students. Life and learning should always be fun and energizing."
