“I really enjoyed working through this course. I loved the fact that I could work at my pace and get through the work when I got a chance. Having children that are very active during the day makes it hard to work on coursework or going to a college to sit in a classroom. I feel that this course has given me a better understanding of the topic of bullying and cyberbullying. I would recommend others to take this course in the future.” -Kathryn S., OH
