I would rate this course as a 5 star due to the fact that I do not have a lot of information about introverts/extroverts. The presenter was very lively and very knowledgeable in my opinion. I learned several things that I did not know at first. I also had learned many things about myself as an educator and how I can relate to certain students who are also introverts. This was an eye-opener for me.
