I learned a lot in this course. First off, I would like to say that I was very fortunate and my group worked very well together. It was helpful that I had already worked with Carter and Mary before so I already knew how to work with them. Hannah was an absolute gem and was […]

Doing a focus group was very insightful but it did have challenges. We had eight people come to our focus group which seemed like it was a great thing.
