What participants are saying about this course

"I loved this class. Exactly the jump start I needed and Reciprocal teaching alone made this entirely worthwhile. The obvious student-centered, make-connections emphasis really struck home. Kudos to the prof who designed this course. Really appreciated the thoughtfulness put into its design. I've already encouraged one of my colleagues to take it."
