Coopersmith Music Education

[eminor7]

I wanted to post under the course guide thread. But since I didn't take the final, I'll just create a separate thread on it.

I was expecting this course to cover music education (teaching or learning music for elementary classrooms), but it barely mentioned anything about music. Pretty much the only mention of music is using it as a means of introducing new concepts to young children. It is basically an Early Childhood Education course with a misleading title. The main topics covered were the psychology theories of child development and incorporating movement in the classroom. The book recommended for this course is boring and repetitive.

The reason why I didn't take the final is because of ProctorU. There were technical difficulties and I kept getting transferred to different proctors and agents for over an hour. I have stable internet connection, but somehow I kept getting disconnected.

Another time when I was taking a Straighterline final, ProctorU crashed so many times during the exam that I wasn't able to finish answering all the questions.

Both Coopersmith and ProctorU gave me full refund, thankfully. But the time spent on this course is wasted, I could have taken another course.
