I feel too much time was spent rehashing what perfectionism is and what it looks like. Not enough time going into ways to help students with it. I also wish more strategies were given on how to implement the mindset changes in the classroom.

This course beautifully described the reasons and characteristics of perfectionists and how to help them maneuver through life academically. Strategies and helpful ideas were presented all throughout the course, and I found it to be very helpful both as a teacher and as a parent.

Objectives were clear, content was clear, I did however, lose both of my written responses and had to retype them. Perhaps type in a google doc and paste into the response box. I very much recommend this course – especially if you are not familiar with the feelings and behaviors of a perfectionist!

A reasonably potent source of information on the subject of GT perfectionistic behaviors and correction.
