I just wanted to thank you for working with me during the creation of three Coursera specialties over the past eighteen months! I have so much appreciated your project management skills and your leadership. Throughout, you kindly pointed me toward learning-design solutions that I would have never considered. And, your interpersonal skills are exceptionally appropriate for working with faculty facing the daunting task of preparing an online course. Again, thank you for an exceptional learning experience!"

[I]n doctoral school, we did not learn how to properly design a course. We just were handed a syllabus and said, 'do it.' That sounds so ridiculous, but it’s true. [...] Now, all these years later, I’ve learned so much from having to think through an entire course before I create materials. Linking the learning objectives to the assessments – it’s all so brilliant. It’s pretty obvious, maybe, but!! I shared the course design document with my doctoral students because – I am confident this makes for a much better course for students. And really, for any curriculum.

I like Leá [and her colleague] as people. They both are so kind and encouraging, and overall very supportive of the courses I’ve proposed and made. I just wanted to let you know, these two are AWESOME. I could not have created such high-quality, successful Specializations without these two guiding me along."
