    Highly recommended. It makes you fuel your neurotransmissors to think about good examples.

    It is good to see Prof. Kai Niebert talking to you instead of reading to the camera as in other courses!

    A really helpful course based on modern data on how students learn.

    A lot of useful tools and practices.

    Might be somewhat difficult for those who have no prior teaching experience.
