I loved this course! The engaging material, interesting content, and practical assignments made it a valuable experience. I especially appreciated the choices offered in the coursework, which inspired me to create a project for my 10th graders with similar options. The practicality of this course was amazing. I developed lesson plans with my US I and US II classes in mind and have already started implementing them in my classroom. Thank you!

This course provided ample opportunities to demonstrate learning through a variety of assignments. The lessons are designed to allow the student to dive deeply into those topics they find engaging or useful for their professional development, while doing more surface analysis on others. Students can complete genuine graduate level work and the professors always provide timely and meaningful feedback.
