    This was a great class!! Brian Asher was insanely knowledgable and a really engaging instructor. I wish I had taken a course like this 20 years ago, I would have made far better decisions with my money. I think the instructor really makes a difference in a course like this. He made the information come alive. I would not hesitate to take more courses with him. Plus he’s hilarious!
  • Birdwatching Basics (Remote Live)

    Anonymous review on 8/3/2020
    I thought the Birdwatching Basics class was excellent, and just right for a newcomer to bird watching. The instructor was very enthusiastic and engaging. There were a lot of fun and interesting facts, as well as great bird photos, in the PowerPoint presentation. The class was not the full 3 hours (it's meant to be a lecture followed by an actual birdwatching walk, but the latter could not occur given the virtual setting), but I think it was just the right amount of time - I'd suggest the listing on CourseHorse be updated to reflect that it's more like 2 hours. I did take my own birdwatching walk afterward and I felt like I was able to see and hear with new eyes and ears after this class!

    Reviewed by Monique R. on 8/2/2020
    Enjoyed the class. I think the description should have said that it was going to just be 2 hours since the 3rd hour would have been an outdoor group bird walk had we been in a physical class. Instructor was good, though.

    Rosie’s accent is extremely thick - it’s hard to understand her. However, you can tell she’s passionate about what she does and knows the business. She did her best and that why I gave her 4 stars.

    Brian is awesome! He breaks difficult material down in an easy to understand way. I’ve kearned a lot from the course. Probably will repeat it at some point as a lot of material is covered.
  • Succulent Centerpieces: Living Arrangements

    Reviewed by Edith R. on 3/23/2018
    While the instructor was very likeable and you could tell she was passionate and knowledgeable about succulents, the course agenda didn't match the course description. The majority of the class was lecture, which is not mentioned in the course description. The impression is that it would be workshop hands-on instruction. Additionally, the lecture was much more about the history and science of succelents than arrangement of a centerpiece. While very interesting info, I would've like to know thats what I was signing up for.
