I Have learned a lot in this chapter.

Explained perfectly!

This Chapter really helped me understand the various categories of abuse.

Thought provoking survey at the end of this course. I didn't realize how I could look at the same image and react to it so drastically depending on the lens I used to assess it. Quality definitions for the different types of child abuse.

very well done!

In this course I learned what the definitions of child abuse and neglect are, and what actions would be considered abuse and/or neglect. This information is very important for me to know as a GAL volunteer, and the course taught me what I needed to know for any of my future visits with the child I will be placed with. I also found the slides on the two different lenses - the deficit lens and the resource lens. Now I understand just how important it is to use a balance of the two lenses, and to not favor one over the other.

very informative!

The lesson was easy to follow and had just the right amount of interaction.
