I enjoyed this course and look forward to taking other courses in the future. I liked the format of the course as it was easy to navigate. I struggled on how to set up the assignments in the beginning, but was able to figure it out with the help of a friend who had also taken the course. This course compares equally to other courses I have taken as it gives valuable information to use in the classroom. The information I have learned will benefit my classroom students and I will be able to share the resources with my peers. Kelly K., NE
