Randall Westbrook

"Basic curriculum development is addressed well. Realistic feedback on issues in three specific sections are noteworthy- "Reflection on Practice," "View from the Classroom," and "Public View of Education." Tables with today's visually-oriented students are great! The tables illustrating differences between topics are wonderful! "
