I liked that I could stop and restart the course according to my own schedule, and that I could restart where I left off. As to the content, it was well-presented. Dr. Juntune’s stories and personal connection made the content enriched and relatable. This information is very valuable for me as a campus administrator, and I took notes for my future work.
