The presenter was very fluid and it seemed as though they were having a typical conversation instead of a lecture. The overall information that was presented and the strategies of how to help students feel more comfortable in the classroom were great!

This is a great course because it helps understand the characteristics between the introvert and extravert. It explains that they are hardworking, simply thinking, lack communication skills, and not shy even though some are very shy.
