I recently completed the Coursera and I am truly impressed with the overall experience. The course content was comprehensive, well-structured, and highly relevant to my learning goals. What stood out to me the most was the practical application of the theories discussed. The course included numerous real-world examples and interactive exercises that allowed me to not only grasp the theory but also apply it effectively in various scenarios. Additionally, the resources provided were incredibly helpful, from detailed readings to insightful discussions in the forums. I especially appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with fellow students, which added a diverse perspective to my learning experience. The course was challenging, but in a way that encouraged growth and improvement. I feel much more confident in my understanding of the subject and have already started applying the knowledge gained in my daily work. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course and look forward to taking more courses in the future!

When I started this course, I was not sure of what to get after the course, I am grateful to the course Professors Dr. Geogre Oduro and Prof Emeritus John, they did a great job. I hope to take up an education course now on a serious level. This course is very fundamental not only for teachers but for anyone who wishes to join the teaching world. Am looking forward to the next course.

A teacher who cares and knows how to express that. I liked the separation of the self assessment parts from the parts about the great pedagogs who have gone before. The academic duty of reverence of the great forbears is quite a separate activity from the understanding of the children in one's own classroom, even if the two activities feed each other.

This is one of best online course I have ever gone through. A lot of collective thinking must have been carefully undertaken by people with experience to give it the shape. The concept of learning involving learners in the context of society at large irrespective of geographical boundaries has been revealed wonderfully.My sincere regards.

This course is not only helpful for schools, teachers, or educators but also valuable for parents. We'll find ourselves in some parts of the course and many of the questions delivered by professors would be a good way to reflect on our ways of educating children.

I have learnt a lot. The Course analyses theoretical and practical approaches of learning. A very exciting and interesting fact that Professor Oduro presents many facts and examples from the African Continent.
