As someone with a biology background, there were facts provided about the brain’s anatomy that were inaccurate. It made me feel distrustful of the rest of the information in the course.

I think this course seems practical. It provides with plenty of ways to categarize students’ (GT) behaviors, way of thinking and even problem areas and ways to assist them. However, I wonder what current research accross different culture groups, minority groups, gender, etc. has been done recently to continue to support these findings.
