Course Exit Card

I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this class. I feel that I am now better prepared to teach all students, including those with special needs. It was helpful just to get exposure to material on the various exceptionalities our students may possess. Learning about the different categories of exceptionalities was beneficial. It was nice to get definitions for various exceptionalities that students may be designated under. There were many terms that I had heard reference to before, but did not fully understand before this course. It will be nice to have the wikis to refer back to if I come across any of the disorders researched while I am in my practicum.

Also, learning the process of creating IPPs, and then carrying out the plans, will definitely be beneficial. Those documents now seem much less mysterious.

As with all of our courses in PS1 and PS2, we covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. I do not really think there is any way of changing that. The material that was covered all seemed to be important knowledge that will benefit us all. I think the introduction to theory and access to resources is what we require from these courses. There really is not time to go into a greater amount of depth without sacrificing the range of topics covered.

Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. You did a wonderful job of teaching us, despite an often unruly class.
