Dr. Seevers' experience as a special education teacher is very evident is in his lectures. He shares personal experiences, both good & bad, to help students better undertand the needs of special kids. The assignments he gives are relevant to the topic and are not busy work. I highly recomend Dr. Seevers for any SPED class you have to take at UHCL.

Would take again

I am torn because he is encouraging but doesn't TEACH. If you want an easy A, take him, but prepare to teach yourself. I felt like my work was always graded in 30 seconds and I put in so much effort just to get a "great job! here's your A". All of my group members got A's and some of them put in minimal effort on the same papers.
