Carly is an excellent presenter. She has the ability to analyse and explain syllabus requirements and content in a way that is easy to understand, giving course participants the confidence to be able to use her strategies in the classroom. I have given a rating of 4 to my enjoyment of the course. this is not a reflection on the course itself, but a an online course has the disadvantage of not having the opportunity to discuss the course content with other participants as you would if attending a face-to-face course.
