This course provided insight in to the reasons social emotional learning is vital for students' success in life, and provided many data points to support SEL as an academic positive, as well.

It was a great experience to participate in this course. It was very informative about the topic, but I would suggest to provide more info about the tools or practices that we can use or implement with kids and adolescents to develop social and emotional learning, apart of talking about the programs that are currently available in the matter.

Overall, it was a very practical course. Readings and videos were clear and useful. A few reading was bias to particular social theories.

Poorly constructed course. Maybe 3 weeks of content stretched into six weeks. Also, I think the focus while well intentioned is not helpful and enables fragility, entitlement, and makes weak people. Not what I want in mass education at all and hope to see SEL be dropped as a requirement in favor of more academic work about the brain and how learning works. Poorly researched and conclusions are debilitating. But if you need a course for some certificate purpose at work it's fine. Also, in the quizes you can enter ANY answer and get a "correct" verification. I experimented with putting in nonsensical words and still recieved credit. LOLOLOL. How do you think I feel about you wasting my time?

Dull and boring

Too academic with little connection to the real world. Quizzes are read and memorize versus providing a link to the practical environment. This was the second class in the specialization. Unfortunately, it is my last.
