I liked the high standards the program sets for accuracy and ability to do the actual coding, interpreting original records, interacting with agencies and so on. It is something that is going to require continued learning while I am working, so you have to start out right. Also, this is an occupation with very little room for error so it is only realistic to expect the same of us in school. I didn't like the cold manner of the instructors. Most of them did not seem to enjoy teaching, so it was hard to have a rapport with any of them. In the end, it didn't affect my learning but it would have been more pleasant if they had had a more positive attitude. I definitely was prepared- the had high expectations of us from day one, so I had the right mindset on my first day at work. Also used to quick pace, so I manage my time very well.
