The resources I had available were very helpful. I felt supported all through the course.

Sales pitch was wonderful and got me into classes quickly. From the beginning, I was overwhelmed with topic material. Classes went very fast. For Student support we were only referred back to the instructors for help. It was frustrating at times. The Tuesday night office hours were extremely beneficial and the Thursday workshops for small group breakouts for discussions and better understanding was great. I’d like to see some sort of student manual that we can refer back to, weekly assignments/practice not just the Thursday workshops. I’d also like to see the actual answers to the assignments… screen shot of phython/sql code. I’d like to see some sort of student center for tutoring or where additional references could be found on the topic. I ordered additional books on each topic but what recommendations are better. Having an additional reference area would be great. For example hosting an orientation session with student one week from class start date to get everything downloaded, pre-reading identified, q&a done. That would have helped me out. Both Phyton and sql system were very problematic for me so that created a lot of stress because you are trying to follow the class discussion by doing hand on typing but are having technical issues with the platforms. A better discussion upfront on how Discord worked. How Google drive was utilized, etc. if there was a student center where we could connect to get some of this issues worked on outside of class would have been better. Example: I was having issues with Juypter and I was pulled from class to work on it. I landed up having to use Jupiter lab but I missed the entire class discussion. Notes were posted on Discord but trying to catch up was hard. Things finally started connecting when I got to work on an actual project for the mid-term. The final project was fun as well. Connecting the dots really helped me. I’m glad that I stuck with it but it was definitely harder than I expected and took some time to finish. Overall, even through the frustration, the course was great.

I truly enjoyed my experience with Upright Education; I recently completed the Data Analytics Bootcamp. As a working professional looking to transition into a new field of work, this course fit perfectly with my needs. The course was fast-paced, which was expected given the bootcamp style of learning. We learned three coding languages in a matter of several weeks as well as some of the fundamental mathematics behind it all. Our professor, James-Lee Meredith, was extremely knowledgeable in the field and made the course material very accessible. I thoroughly enjoyed being in class every day with James at the helm. Our TA, Weston Weaver, was also an excellent resource for more learning and made himself available any time we needed extra help. At the end of the course, I feel very well prepared to enter the data analytics field. This experience has also bolstered my enthusiasm to learn more and expand into generative AI and data science. Shout out to Maxwell Lyons as well; as part of the Upright Learner Support Team, he was and continues to be extremely helpful and responsive to any of my needs as a student. Cheers UprightEd team, thank you for an excellent learning experience. -Brad P

Paul and Nick were really good and I learned a ton !!!

I had a great experience! The instructors were awesome & really knew their stuff. 10/10 would recommend this program to anyone that is interested!

I really appreciated the level of depth and pacing of the course. I started the course with no background in data analytics and was able to get a solid understanding complex machine learning systems by the end. My instructor was incredibly knowledgeable in the field and was able to help those with even less computer literacy than me understand the concepts.

I loved every moment of my time at Upright! Going through a bootcamp is challenging, but my instructor and TA were incredibly helpful. From lectures to office hours to assignment feedback, I felt like this bootcamp prepared me not only to get a job, but also to continue teaching myself more!

The projects we did were great for solidifying concepts we've learned, but also pushed us as a class to find our own answers to questions. Throughout the whole experience, instructional staff were there to help answer technical questions, but more importantly, they pushed all of us to start thinking more like developers. This course pushed my career forward and gave me the tools to continue my software development journey with confidence. Thanks so much to Rob, Elena, Ben, and Paul, I couldn't have done it without you!!
