Student Evaluation of Classroom Course


Here's what students are saying...

I really enjoyed doing the course online. I was able to still work full time and be around my kids for the summer. Thank You.
OER was a perfect source material for the lessons. Very efficient Instructor - very knowledgeable, encouraged us all the time, responsive to our needs and queries and very professional.
The class material was easily understandable and simple to follow.
I was a bit hesitant about taking an online science course, but I ended up enjoying it. I was able to learn and feel as if I got something from this course. Achieve software was easy to operate, and I found the discussion board assignments to be very beneficial. Overall, I really enjoyed the class.
A good experience overall, an excellent online program.
