"The activity I most enjoyed completing was the implementation outline. Never before in an education course have I been required to make a specific plan to implement what I learned, and I think it will be extremely helpful in improving my practice. I feel a lot less stressed out about integrating green chemistry into my curriculum after completing the activities in this course."
