The reflective questions should be interspersed throughout the lecture, not all at the end. I really enjoyed the content though. It’s too bad our education system and grades are not really set up to encourage intelligence.

Erin – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
Joyce Juntune stated in this course that low IQ can result in “increased chances of utilizing government assistance (welfare), being incarcerated, and having illegitimate children.” This is pseudoscience at best, and fails to consider the systems of poverty, racism, and classism that make these issues extremely complex. This kind of rhetoric has no place in a teacher education program, and calls into question the soundness of the information presented.
Haley – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –
4 stars. I wish sometimes she would have restated the key ideas or had more on the slide. It was easy to miss some of the key ideas.
Ellen – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
This was very interesting, but it was hard to see the diagrams because they were small. Sometimes the speaker was referring to something on her screen, but we were not shown what it was. Also she spoke very quickly. I would also love it if the quiz at the end would explain why the answers were incorrect so that upon review, quiz-takers could continue to learn.
