This course was informational, well laid out and easy to self-conduct. The assignments were both challenging and educational. I gained lots of new information and also gathered some great ideas for teaching and books I'd like to try in the classroom. Thank you for the experience. - Amy

Overall good course, I wish this course was structured more like fantasy literature with a document with a list of texts and topics that was updated as opposed to using a textbook. I just feel that the textbooks get outdated easily and a doc would be able to be updated much more frequently.

I enjoyed my time going through this course and assignments. The text for the class was relevant to what I was hoping to learn more about and the assignments helped me reflect on my curriculum and how I could implement more diversity in literature. I enjoyed creating lessons for the YA Literature and thinking about how I could use them in the classroom. Thank you!

This course had great resources and the assignments felt meaningful. I've taken too many courses in other places where the videos we have to watch or texts we have to read only claim to be for high schoolers, but are really best for middle schoolers or lower. This was not the case with this course, as I had the flexibility to pick texts relevant for my students and the textbook that was assigned for the course touched upon relevant issues for high schoolers and high school teachers.

An update text would be more useful. Thankfully, the instructor accepted a text suggestion and will incorporate it in the future. A well-organized class that allows for flexibility. The most useful assignment for me was finding ways to connect young adult novels to a classic work of literature.

This was a very informative course. I not only helps literature teachers to understand that they need to use young adult novels in the classroom, but it also explains many reasons why. It teaches several great ways to keep open communication between students, their parents, and teachers. I especially appreciated the rationale that a teacher should prepare before she does any study in the classroom. This is a proactive way to keep problems form happening with controversial literature. I plan on implementing it in my own classroom. Awesome class!!!

I have taken four courses from Luetta Reimer, and I have been extremely happy with each of the classes I have taken. She gives you assignments, readings, and lessons that are applicable and helpful to the classroom. I also enjoy the fact that she allows the student to choose novels and stories when appropriate. It is nice to have a class that is tailored to what I am teaching. Thank you, Luetta, for another great learning experience.

The textbook was very helpful and covered many aspects of teaching the young adult novel. I appreciated the extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. These will be great resources. Is there a more updated version that includes newer titles? The young adult market has exploded and a new text may capture some of this phenomenon. The assignments were useful and practical.
