Student Evaluation of Classroom Course


Here's what students are saying...

Since this was my first online class, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to learn; however, the class was very well explained, references were provided and the teacher was very caring.
I liked the use of the OER's with this English course. It made it easy to access everything right in Blackboard.
Everything I have experienced with this college has kept me going and wanting to continue college, 20 years later.
I liked that it was an online self-paced class. This allowed me to continue my education while being out of country on military orders.
This was the most engaging online course that I have ever taken, in regards to peer interaction. The discussion posts were fun and challenging, and I genuinely enjoyed interacting with my peers through them.
