    "comment": "Amy is also an outpatient therapist &amp; examples from her practice greatly add to material. She has that typical 'therapist voice'-calm &amp; kind. She's lenient- grants extensions to the whole class if asked. Not as consistent behind the scenes: largely inaccurate syllabus, slow to grade, struggles with tech. &amp; class website. Expect a lot of role-plays.",
