Classes with John Cotter
John Cotter is entertaining, insightful, and--let's scrap the adjectives and head straight to verbs. He enlightened us. He guided the class toward cohesiveness and created a space where we stretched ourselves. We were creators in this four-week series. I can see why John Cotter comes so well recommended and I will absolutely take his classes again.
