This course creates an avenue for me to update my learning. Also, I have been able to learn new concepts in curriculum through words of Professpr John MacBeath and Associate Professor Suseela

awesome 👍 thanks to the development of this special course... It was an eye opening for me to know more about curriculum planning and how to understand learning processes of the students... 🙏

This course is probably very good for teachers who teach in education systems.
However, I found this course less useful in a business setting. I'm half way through it at the moment, and will probably not complete is as it's not applicable to sales orgs training.

Too monotonous, could implement some of the information mentioned in the course. I would have like the certificate to include my name.

The quiz questions were not clear enough sometimes.

The information is good if you have no detailed knowledge of curriculum and curriculum theory and development. The course delivery methods are very boring and hard to stay engaged in. The teacher reads from various PowerPoints and the course is extremely information-heavy, which makes it hard to retain that information. There are no examples provided and no detailed study of curriculum given. The assessments are hard to get correct because they are not coming from the course material, and you are somehow expected to synthesize the information in a manner that translates to the assessments, which does not work well at all. I only passed the assessments because I have a background in teaching and instructional design. If you know nothing about curriculum, this course may be a good place to start, but if you already have basic knowledge in curriculum and are just looking to gain an alternative perspective or more in-depth information and examples on actual curriculum development, I would not bother taking this course.

While this course gave some useful information regarding curriculum and theory, especially, for someone with little experience regarding the topic, I was generally not impressed with it. I think a more in-depth focus on specific theories of curriculum and practical applications would have been more useful. Maybe I shouldn't compare, but the value of Course 5 with Linda and Judy far outweighs the value of this course in my opinion. The content of the two courses was equally valuable, I think, but the presentation and organization were radically different.

Horrible quiz questions. I found the distractors to be too similar to the answer, what is the point in having 4 possible correct answers?

It was the most boring course I took on Coursera. the instructor seemed to just read the prepared materials. there is no attractive ppt slides. I even didn't know why she seemed distracted all the time in the video. It is not personal dislikeness. normally I don't like to comment on something including my online shopping products, but I feel I have to be responsible for other potential learners to take this class! sorry, I have to do this.

I've taken several of the Foundations of Teaching for Learning courses, and this one was by far the worst! it was unorganized, and the instructor just read all of the material--very boring and uninteresting. Also, the quizzes would ask questions that weren't even covered until the NEXT week's lectures. This particular course definitely needs an update.
