I really enjoyed this course. This is the first graduate level course I have taken. It was really easy to navigate. Everything was well organized and well explained. The content of this class really helped me find the joy and love I have in the classroom. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to take extra courses to keep my license after staying home and raising my children. Now I’m excited to take more looking forward to being in the classroom again. -Melissa P., NE
