I find this course and its modules are difficlut for me to process. It is mind bubbling that I need to analyse the situation before creating a lesson planning. I do hope it will be easy in the future with practice.

Great review of important language theories and suggestions for adaptations and scaffolding. The suggestions for planning seemed unrealistic.

I was really interested in this course and I think the information is useful. But I find it boring, it didn't get my attention.

no support in comment threads from instructors, the course is dead, tests check knowledge that wasn't in the lectures, controversial and dual, the speech of the instructor makes my head hurt
