Wide variety of topics and captivating material. I needed a wider variety at the high school level, but it worked well as I completed this course during the summer and just needed to adapt lessons for the upcoming year. I am looking forward to using what I learned this next school year

I enjoy the structure of the course. I got a lot of good ideas for me to use, and ideas I can actually use. When I take a class, I want things I can take away and use, or mold to what I need. I like the idea of really and critically thinking about a lesson presented here to make me reflect on my own lesson I have made.
