MARTHA – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
overall course is ok, but too much geared to lower levels instead of higher levels (secondary); lot of repetition; do not know why there is so much time spent with having children’s books read to listener … and you are forced to sit through it… among other things… ALSO, the resource link for modules 4 and 5 do not work, so IF you want copy of handouts you are out of luck
