It is the easiest to understand course. I have came across many classes, yet this one is straight to the point, informative with the material it offers, and very motivating.

Interesting topics that are helpful for new teachers. The projects help by making you think about the material in relation to your classroom. I found the peer-reviewing process hit-and-miss.

It was great learning experience, specially for an educator, who is from corporate background and didn't have the formal teaching experience.

very good course. it focuses more around reflecting on your ideas about education, as opposed to teaching you concrete teaching techniques
