For Self-study class comments, please see below…

Margaret:
"The lessons really WORKED, and got me using redundant software. Jennifer
was very helpful, and so were classmates."

|
Caroline:
"I wanted to compliment you on a wonderful class.
"This class more than met my expectations and I have found myself more aware
of my environment and how I take care of myself. I guess I could say this was
a life changing class, and I look forward to taking others from you."

Mary Fears:
"I had no prior knowledge of HMTL or XHTML and I am amazed how much I learned
in such a short time. I think the classes and the instructors at LVS are Fantastic.
I am so glad that you offer the variety of classes, at a reasonable class fee
and have the best Instuctors.
"I was very pleased with the quality of the class."

Richard:
"[Becky] did an excellent job in teaching us what I thought to be challenging material. I like her teaching and writing style. She is able to explain complex material in plain English and her writing style keeps the reader interested in the material. Overall, I truly believe that I was lucky to have her as an instructor."

Susan Johnson:
"The class was superb. The lessons were easy to follow and challenging. Vikki answered all questions in a timely manner. She gave LOTS of positive feedback. I am using what I learned EVERY DAY at work!"

Tracy:
"I started this class not knowing what a CSS was, now I can build a web page using CSS. The lessons were very informative and assignments were helpful
in putting lessons to work."

Wayne MacKay:
"This class was so amazing. It took CorelDraw, a massive program to learn, and broke it down into small segments that were very manageable to learn. Class material was well written and easy to understand. What I really liked was that you didn't have to be an artist. Many classes ( not at LVS ) require you to draw
and for artist challenged individuals, such as myself, it becomes a road block to learning. Val made it easy and fun to learn."

Dianne:
“I have had KPT for a long time, but was only using a few of the filters because I had no clue what the rest actually did. This class has made me take another look at KPT. The instructor, Peter Mayer, is friendly and informative, and gave me some excellent hints that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. I think even long time users of KPT could learn something new from this class. It was also fun!”

Mary:
(Liked Best:) "That I finally took my first steps in learning Painter. I have had the program for a while but was frustrated and got nowhere on
my own, even with a book. This class was full of useful content, presented in a logical progression, by an obviously talented artist who was friendly
and helpful all the way. I'm anxious to pursue further study in Painter and see what I can do."

Paul O'Neil:
"I am very impressed with the clear, focused manner in which these lessons
are laid out and the degree to which the homework assignment supports the lesson.
I just took an InDesign course elsewhere and the difference is night & day!"

Yu Lin:
"The fact that it (the class) was very comprehensive.
It was very sophisticated and didn't 'dumb things down' at all. It really exposed the student to what good code writing is about, and covered a lot
of good information in a very short space of time."

Monica:
“Without a doubt, the best part of the class were the lessons and the way they were written. The humor adds so much! I can't wait to dig into the
next class.”

(Level One)
Susan Thye:
"I love PSP. I have been using it for about 10 years.
"Everything I'd learned was from on-line tutorials. I took this class for pointers... assuming it was like another tutorial. I was mistaken.
"This has been a wonderful experience. Not only have I been able to fine tune what I already knew, but more importantly, I learned new techniques in every lesson. LVS has been invaluable to me!
"An added note: I installed a new color monitor in July and gave away
the old one. Printing color photos has been less than acceptable since then.
So I bought a new printer and still had the same problem. I asked my instructor
Phyllis and she pointed me in the right direction!!! Like I said before, this
is an invaluable class for beginners and longtime users!!!"
(Level Two)
Bonnie:
"I learned so much! I had begun to dismiss PSP and felt that I needed
to go on to learn something else; but now I know that I can do all I would ever
want to right here."
(Level Three)
Ellen:
"The teachers responded quickly to our questions and knew what they were
talking about. The lessons covered a lot of material but were well organized
and well explained, had lots of screen shots and were fun. I especially liked
that the lessons allowed us to work on our own photos and to explore and expand
on the week's theme. I was especially surprised to realize about half way through
this class that I felt comfortable with the program for the first time, like
I knew what I was doing without thinking about it. Since this is the third of
three "PSP Foundation" classes most of us have been together for 18 weeks...It
was like being with family. This class was tremendously useful and fun. It's
sad to see it end."

Saralyn Cutrell:
"Al is a great instructor, he makes things easy to understand and is always helpful with any questions you have. He goes above and beyond what you would expect. I am thrilled to be able to finally use my DSLR and KNOW what I am doing with it. I can't wait to take his second class and learn more from him.

Ann Paine:
"Al is a No.1 tutor. Such a lovely man to have as your tutor, kind, considerate,
very very knowledgeable on his subject, first one to help, never puts you down,
he is full of praise for your efforts. I only wish I could influence him to do
another photography course so that I could enroll as I have done both of them
now. I shall miss doing the course and Al's company immensely."

Ally:
"I loved the fact that it was certainly one of the most enjoyable class I've taken. It should be illegal to have this much fun in class. =) Stephanie's tutorials/lessons sure was easy to understand and follow. She has indeed made this a pleasant experience and I look forward to exploring and learning more of PI8 with LVS.....and I'm not just trying to get an 'A'!"

Dan:
"Excellent and timely support from instructors (Sonja & Vikki). Covered the basics and the homework, gave support where needed, but still left the student to think through a few areas (like how to get the bird inside the cage). Looking forward to CS3 II."

Karen:
"I love the way the courses flow and the knowledge builds. You get enough training to be able to do many techniques and your eyes are opened so that you can better understand other sources of teaching, such as books and online tutorials to further your education in specific areas. I am looking forward to their next class in January!"

(Liked best) "Instructors' great attitude especially when asked questions
by the class. The line of incredibly informative topics offered week after week.
This was such a fabulous class taught by the most wonderful instructors. I hope
they will teach other spin-offs of this class. I especially enjoyed learning
about items like "Match Color". Thanks so much for offering this great
class! I hope you continue to offer lots more graphics classes (plus a WordPress
Blog class.)"

I was able to finally make some heads or tails of this program - I've played with it in the past but most of the 'buttons' didn't make sense to me. They do now :) Also, I liked the HTML printable pages - made it VERY easy to print them out at home for reference while doing the assignments!"

Lee:
"This class is a must have for anyone getting into 3d. I have spent a lot of money on tutorials and spent a lot of time on line looking and studying various
tutorials, however I have learned more from this class than I have from most tutorials. This class covers the basic and I think more it gives a great insight
into 3d modeling and teaches one what to look for when modeling. The instructor was great and answered all the questions and with here knowledge was able to
give more information that needed which help in the learning progress. I going to skip the nest class , however I WILL be back. This has been a pleasant learning
experience, THANKS."

she really know her material, but she is willing and able to give a little
extra to each of her students. She's the kind of teacher we all should be

her!"

atmosphere. Thank you."

"I was clueless and anxious to learn this program after 5 years using Photoshop.The instructor Val P., really made me feel comfortable and she answered every question and her instructions where very clear even fun to read because she put her personality in her presentation.

very crucial however with Val's help and patience I made it through. A personal thank you to Val and LVS online Rocks."
