The book, Dealing With Difficult Parents was a quick read and easy to follow with its oraganization. The course followed the book closely. There were several assignments for each chapter of the book. This course ended up taking up a lot of time. I easily did triple the amount of work that I did in a 3 credit hour course. However, the information was useful in that the book outlined several unique scenarios that a teacher could be faced with and how to wiggle out of it with professional and direct conversation.
