Classes are comfortable but yet detailed friendly yet effective and efficient. Instructors are there for any questions..... regardless of how many times you ask the same one! Supportive without being overly structured. You are given your assignment and you hold yourself responsible for it. You don't do the work it will show in the classroom.
