Very Informational

I assumed this would just be dry and factual, but it does contain many interviews with educators, interviews with students, segments of audio from live classes, and personal tales that make it livelier than expected.

Great Course For Anyone

I have been a college adjunct for many years and I absolutely loved this course. Much of what was covered, I have experienced in the classroom and I had many moments where I thought to myself - so true !
But more importantly, the course was an inspiration to continue to improve and get better and an appreciation of the idea that the best learners and teachers are self taught and self driven.

I would like recommendations

just seemed like the only thing on the topic that was good. Some of the Great Courses on General skills I think got more in to how to make people better. I enjoyed the some of my main takeaways were exuberant, constantly be learning, check out other people's classes, also take classes that are outside of your field so you know what it's like to struggle.

Good rules of thumb on how to engage with students in an empathetic way without getting mired in the personal.

No practical tools to help students with disabilities learning emotional or otherwise. 0 talk on problem students.

Very Good

This was very insightful. I can’t say there was anything I did not like. Very well taught and provides anybody who teaches with plenty of things to think about and potentially work on improve on.

Well developed, familiar and practical.

The course is very practical and reflexive at the same time. It has wonderful insights on teaching and it is so down to earth that you can immediately start practicing what you listen
