Feedback

Wow, Heather! You have such an attractive course! I love the JavaScript you use for the expandable buttons. That cuts down on the clutter of your course and makes it so elegant. Your lesson plans and agenda for each section are great. Great course design. – Dr. Jason Vickers, professor of online learning and teaching at UAlbany
