hands on exercises, easier to retain information
ashley bolen - Insurance Corporation of British Columbia
Course - Test Automation with Selenium
Hands-on exercises related to content really helps to understand more about each topic. Also, style of start class with lecture and continue with hands-on exercise is good and helpful to relate with the lecture that presented earlier.
