I learned quite a bit of information. I also very much appreciated her writing style, it was not over my head and she kept my interest throughout with her examples. Thank you for making my first on-line class experience a good one.” – Anonymous, Alpharetta, GA www.ed2go.com/ksuconed/online-courses/enhancing-language-development-in-childhood?tab=syllabus” ” For our online course refund policy, click cpe.kennesaw.edu/registration/policies/.
