it was fine
Tina – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
It was good, but she kept saying, we will get to that strategy more in the next class. I felt like she should have provided more examples on fewer items to show the application of the lesson designs.

Lots of helpful information if you have some background knowledge to stick it to; otherwise, it is a great overview of what you might want to learn more about, or watch it a few times in segments to really grasp all the information.

interviewers ask questions to learn more about you and to find out things other than what may be on your application or resume. Interviewers may ask about your course selection to learn more about your personality, interests and goals. This question may help them gauge your interest in or passion for a particular subject or field.
