Literally anything by Carol Westby makes it excellent. Her explanations, the flow of the course, her experiences and use of video and exerpts from stories and her use of quotes and relevant information to readily and appropriately describe its functional applications to practical therapy. This was an amazing talk and I would love to hear more on narratives and interventions from Dr Westby. Thank you for this course. I look forward to the rest of the sections on this topic.

Honestly, I'm quite disappointed. I think this a really important course with lots of good information, but it was presented in a really disorganized way. One example is she tolda gazillion stories to illustrate fairly obvious concepts- but barely covered the new material in each slide. The overall organization also wasn't conducive to learning. Finally, I felt the cultural implications were insular and shallow. I honestly expected more.

Informative presentation that clearly explained the foundational aspects of personal narratives. I especially enjoyed the connection made between personal storytelling ability and later academic achievement. Also interesting was learning about the effects of culture on children's storytelling abilities, and the nature of the resulting stories. These are important aspects that need to be considered when working with diverse populations.

Very interesting course! Narratives can be an area that gets overlooked in the public schools, I'm so glad this course was offered! This course reestablishes the importance of school-aged children's story cohesion and offers a great deal more insight into cultural differences in story-telling. An important course for any and all SLPs in my opinion!

This topic is one that I have given relatively little thought to in my career. When the characteristics of difficulty in personal narrative telling are highlighted as foundational to other narrative formulation, I can recognize the truth in this. This was a wonderful beginning description of how to start working on telling personal narratives with students having language disorders and why that would be advisable.
