I learned so much from this course, especially from a social justice standpoint. This is vital for anyone interested in how our schools can be transformed without repeating mistakes from the past.

Lots of really great information and the instructors know their stuff. The lectures seem to be more like instructors reading a book, rather than a real conversation about ed policy and history. I enjoyed the course and the material, but it was hard to watch sometimes.

It is eye-opening and helps one understand why American education is the way that it is. I would have liked this course to involve more effort. It was easy to complete.

It was interesting to see the progression of Education and the state of the progress today. It seems that today we rely on computers and technology more and more.

To submit a photograph of a school building is a preposterous assignment. While the speakers were informative, such assignments were absurd and not helpful. Unlike other coursera courses some of the learners for this one apparently have had very little, if any, teaching experience or encounter with a wide range of educational institutions: some of which are fairly impoverished academically. I was greatly disappointed with the quality of the learner-'reviewers' and with some of the assignments. They just did not add anything substantive.

No one graded the assignments. I was unable to receive credit for completion. The course provided some good information about Education Reform in America. I just wish the course creators would grade the assignments.
