There were multiple examples she gave of first-hand exercises that I'll be able to try in my own classroom. The assignments were realistic and pertained well to what we were reading. They were also designed in such a way that I could implement what I did in the course into my own lesson plans.

I was very pleased with this class! Professor Warmerdam's course gave me the opportunity to experiment with new and engaging strategies to help the struggling readers (and writers!) in my classroom. I loved the required text and noticed that I already use some of the strategies mentioned. I would take another course with Professor Warmerdam in the future!

If you are looking for a self-paced class, accessible and meaningful curriculum, and help assignments, this is a great option. I give the highest ratings because I was expecting a much less enjoyable experience. It's not the greatest class in the world, but it's helpful, the instruction is present but not overbearing, and the overall content of the class is practical. I'm very glad I have taken this course.
