Melissa Courtney, ‘20“I feel that I learned something from every single one of my classes, especially my ABA-related classes. She [Ball State lecturer of applied behavior analysis, Kacyn Tucker-Ramer] made the lessons fun and always told me what I did well or where I could improve. I genuinely felt that she cared about my education."
