This capsule teaching of fashion merchandising in my opinion is what every fashion designer needs to know. I loved the options of learning at your own pace and that you could ask questions, which were answered in a timely manner. The information I learned is current and the big bonus for me were the spreadsheets that are formulated so all you have to do is plug in your own information. They have taken the guess work out of having to create the spreadsheets yourself and it's explained what information goes where. If you're wondering if this class is worth taking, let me tell you it is. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and I learned a lot.
