It was an average course for information.
Erin – MARION CITY (verified owner) –
Some good information. It was very frustrating to write an example WEP when I have never even seen one before for a grade level that I know absolutely nothing about what would be expected. I started to get an idea of what the rules and elements of a WEP are. But I did not feel it was specific enough for me to be able to write one for a specific scenario. I may have been able to write one for a student I know well, learning content I am familiar with.

SMART goals are hard to write.

Not a lot of new info for an IS
Carrie – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –
The course does a good job in identifying the need for WEP goals to be individualized and SMART. It provides opportunities to discuss goals that lack some of the components of a useful WEP goal.
Shelley – DANVILLE LOCAL (verified owner) –
I was disappointed. Resource links did not always work. Additionally, while I felt there were enough examples of incorrect goals, I feel there could have been more examples of correct goals.
Marjorie Diane – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
Course was very enlightening on just how indepth and sometimes difficult writing WEP goals is.
Tonia – CENTERBURG LOCAL (verified owner) –
Clear explanation of the WEP
Karen – CENTERBURG LOCAL (verified owner) –
I thought this was great and one of the most useful courses I’ve taken. It answered a lot of questions about WEPs and gave very realistic, useful ideas. Even though I do not directly write WEPs, this spurred me to think about goals that would be helpful for some of my current students, particularly a couple of specific affective goals.

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.

Katherine – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –
I felt that there was very good information in this course but I feel that the delivery, at times, was slightly rude in the way that she tended to diminish the difficulty of goals that are written and designed for students that aren’t WEP goals. I can’t really put my finger on it but her delivery was someone rude to me on some things.
