EPSE308 Human Development, Learning, and Diversity
- Instructor: Kristen Goessling
- I wasn’t sure about Kristen when I first entered this class two blocks late because I made some changes to my schedule, but she grew on me. I realized that it wasn’t her fault that she seemed frustrated all the time, the class contained some quite frustrating students. By the end I really enjoyed the class. Kristen presented us with challenging questions and a lot of insight into the topics.
