Deirdre said: Yoshiko was very knowledgeable and very attentive to all students. She spent her time well with all students. My only negative comment is I would have liked to have class notes in the first class. I felt we could have done more in the week between classes if we had more information on wire gauge etc. Regardless loved the course and would recommend it.
