The Counseling Skills course was a great introduction to the fundamentals of counseling. I appreciated the structured approach to learning, which included a mix of theoretical foundations and practical exercises. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, making it simple to stay on top of the coursework. One area for improvement could be the addition of more diverse case studies to illustrate different cultural perspectives. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel more confident in my ability to provide supportive counseling services.
