While I enjoy Dr. Juntune, she is extremely long winded and this particular module could have been made more efficient by not having so many long stories and anecdotes. I am getting to the point where these are becoming more boring and less interesting. It would be nice to be able to skip through some of the repetitious or uninteresting bits. It would be fine if you could not skip through the main points, but in areas where it is drawn out story telling, to be able to move more quickly. As a Pre-AP Science teacher, there is so much that is directed towards elementary, and while it might be useful to some degree in high school, is not exactly applicable.

Best course on this subject that I could imagine. She had a better way to teach everything that we are teaching. Paid for the course myself as part of new teacher training. Best investment decision I made all year.
