by Kelsey R. on June 8, 2025
I really enjoyed this course. A lot of the things that I read about in the passages were things I haven't thought about since learning about them in elementary school. I really enjoyed the course for that reason, and because my goal is Elementary Education.
by Dylan L. on June 8, 2025
Very fun and quick class
by Carlo Jeffrey Y. on June 8, 2025
Glad course was provided as it allows me to knock out some units, however the material was fairly tough to navigate and a lot of milestone questions were very unclear in regards to the material provided.
