TOP REVIEWS FROM INFORMATION & DIGITAL LITERACY FOR UNIVERSITY SUCCESS
An excellent course! I wish I had knew this before I started college. I am in grad school now and I am so thankful I came across it.
This course taught me skills I had either forgotten about or needed to learn. I am thankful for taking it and recommend it to anyone who is entering university.
After completing the course, I found that I improved many skills and also changed many of my prejudices. Make it easier for me to control everything.
It's great and very detail for the fact that it teach me a new way to critically thinking at looking and find the knowledge I need for any kind of subjects.
