Loved this course! A lot of classes seem like busy work to me. What really made this a winning choice was that the assignments could be applied right away in the classroom. The research projects were a great way to get you invested in the holidays and make them practical to the learning environment.

I not only learned about the history of major and minor holidays by taking EDU 905, I also learned to use online sites for extending information and materials to enhance my teaching. I have finished the course but am using the resources continually in planning lessons for my Music classes K-5.
