I LOVED LOVED LOVED this course. I LOVED Dr. Richard Cash. He is a theatre person and so am I. I loved his delivery and his enthusiasm and his vast knowledge of what motivates our neo-millennials. I am very moved by this course. I had not heard of Dr. Cash but now that I have been through a 6-hr. course with him and his pedagogical wealth about 21st century learners, I will order his two books to keep by my side in the upcoming school year.
