I like this course. It was helpful to have the notes on the side because I read faster than what the presenter speaks, so I could refer to the notes and fast forward and rewind as I needed to. I also like the order that the material was presented in and that we can see others’ responses to the reflection questions.

Kalan – PORT NECHES-GROVES ISD (verified owner) –
I liked that there was an actual lesson taught by a real teacher in a real classroom to practice using the T-TESS rubric. I found it frustrating that some of the quizzes were timed (without a visual timer) and that if you answered a question, submitted the answer, and then went back to the question page, the initial answer would be gone and you would have to retype your answer.

Ashlie – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoyed many parts. The example teacher video was very long and could have been more succinct while still getting across the main points. I think many people may be daunted by the long video time and end up not watching the full thing, which would be unfortunate as it was interesting at the end. The content was well presented and engaging for the most part.
