As an English teacher, I spend so much of my time grading papers that I rarely get to read for pure enjoyment. For this course, I was introduced to twelve new (to me) short stories that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and can use in my classroom - all while getting 3 graduate credits. I cannot recommend this class enough if you are interested in short stories.

I really enjoyed this course. The story were great reads and I am planning on reading some of them again. I can see using many of the selections in classes when I am working with older students. Many of the story are stories that I can see some of our middle and high school students being able to relate to. They are also short enough to hold their interest even though I wanted some of them to continue!

This was a great course! It's deceptively simple--read stories and respond, but it requires some thoughtful reflection on the short stories selected and it's an opportunity to look at those stories from the perspective of a student--always a useful technique for a teacher. The little handbook that comes with the text is especially useful and could easily be adapted for a high school classroom.

I enjoyed the reading and the way the class is 100% self motivated. I also had several questions, which were answered promptly by the instructor.

I learned a lot but would have learned more if there was an on-line chat. Good selection of stories.

I did not want to press the first star as my rating.I wanted to press the 4th star but could not change it. This was a great course from Miss Reimer.
