There's two test, tophat for attendance, a couple little projects, and this service learning project that just racks up volunteer hours and builds your resume hardcore. There's a textbook and you have to buy it. She has a Canadian accent.",

She is your go to girl if you have an interest in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as those are the children that she works with and talks most about. There are 2 tests, a book club group project, a pamphlet and a paper. Content is super easy and surface level, but lecture is 3 hours long. Extremely opinionated.",

Her lectures are loaded with examples, and her exams are all applying concepts. She uses TopHat to track attendance and participation and offers a lot of extra credit. The class is easy if you pay attention.",
