"This course was fantastic as Ron Thomas was an interesting and engaging presenter and the course was aimed at practical resources which made it extremely relevant and applicable. The quality was high as the suggested activities were inspiring and germane. I would recommend this course to any teacher who would like to extend the brightest students in their classes. The course completely fulfilled expectations and its description. "
