  15. Effectiveness of Diversity Course Student Feedback “It has changed my attitude because it helped me realize that I actually had prejudices and then I could do my best to get rid of those inaccurate prejudices.” “This class has given me more confidence working with diverse learners. Prior to taking the course I had little experience working with diverse learners, and actually wanted to, but was scared that I would not be equipped to handle it. This course has given me that opportunity to see what it would be like, and really changed my perception of what I thought.” “This class, with the fieldtrips, helped to open my eyes more to the learning needs of the many diverse learners out there today.”
