This course was very beneficial for those teachers that have students with these traits and characteristics in their classes. However, I do feel the notes could be more detailed so the viewers could refer back to them later on, and if the quiz is going to ask questions about a specific topic, then that topic needs to be talked about in more detail and included in the resource handout as well. There were a couple of items I don’t even remember the presenter discussing.
