Come on, those other ratings are ANCIENT from a few grumps when this ed psy course was just getting started with it's online part. This course has been very highly rated for years -- learning psychology applied to interesting real-world issues. Quote: "I LOVED this course, would very highly recommend it."

The least helpful course I've taken in the school of Ed, and that's saying something. She also disregards student feedback; they just don't appreciate the course or something. Ick.
