From Cinderella to Easy Rider: A Film Series (Fall Term 2019)
Participant Testimonials:
Beverly was very organized - starting with playing a classic music piece of the time, giving a brief intro of what we'd be looking at in the film, watching film...and a wrap-up with statistics of the time, theme discussion, allowing for questions from participants.
She clearly cares about her course, her course content and her participants. Her enthusiasm was evident throughout all four course sessions.
