​I found this course informative and enlightening as the truth was shared by the instructor and Indiginous guests. This has been a valuable experience to add to my personal reconcilliation journey.

I would have enjoyed more interaction and discussion; however, the content was amazing and will be completely useful in my current position.

I enjoyed the course very much,

I had hoped for a little more Inuit content though.

The professor was thoughtful and

dedicated to this subject.

Would like note to read as opposed to all lectures, would allow me to work on the course around my teaching times more easily.

It was very informative. I liked the writing assignment. I wish the videos were not so short. It made for a lot of clicking.

A bit heavy on the classroom videos. Maybe some streamlining of the discussion and introductions to other videos.

Great information, even so many years after "recording" provides good foundation.

I think the scope of the course is excellent. Another informed viewpoint, another method of learning the importance of cultural sensitivity and another perspective of educating myself. It was excellent in that regard. However, I found the course material hard to follow and I was only able to access the notes, not the videos so relied on those to assist with my learning.

I felt like there were elements that could have been explained better especially when the narrative went off on a tangent and never recovered. I feel like there are pieces of information missing from the whole course and I am left hoping that I just missed something. It seemed to ramble a bit in places, but then my learning style may not be wholly suited to this teaching style.

The information presented in the course was great. I found many of the lectures dragged and at times were repetitive. The thing I found most frustrating was links that did not work or were not there. I was able to search for links to suggested websites and was able to find most of them.

This has such potential, yet the lack of updates, the difficulty of finding readings and supplementary videos is frustrating and takes far too much time.

I am surprised that OISE is leaving a course from 2012 with now outdated facts and information in the recordings. They should look to the Univeristy of Alberta for a high quality MOOC course.

Paul as a lecturer is interesting and it is sad that his recordings from 2012 are being touted as a course to take now, in 2021.

If I knew how to unenroll and get my money back I would do that immediately.
