TOP REVIEWS FROM INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION
by MEJun 3, 2018
Good overview of teaching concepts. New educators will take a lot away from this course if taken seriously. Nice review with some occasional insights for more experienced professors.

Quiz 03.02 is very vague in what answer is expected. Even after several tried I was unable to complete the quiz. Please look into the issue. Otherwise the course content and delivery is excellent
