Spring 2018 - By far the most useful class I took as an undergrad. Anyone with any interest in teaching or education would benefit from this class. Dr. Velez is well organized, articulate, helpful, and kind. She provides clear rubrics for every assignment, and she is willing to work with students. The assignments and workload all serve a clear purpose and really made me a better student.
