This was not my favorite course that I’ve taken. The information was good but I didn’t care for how it was presented. It may have been my computer, but it was very hard to hear and understand the speaker.

I think that this is a good course to give concrete information of the skills and characteristics of the gifted students. I agree too that most all educators should take this course to be more aware of how they can meet the needs of the students of today.
