Student Evaluation of Classroom Course


Here's what students are saying...

It was easy to follow along and access all of the required materials and reading. I liked using OERs and not having to buy a textbook.
I honestly cannot think of anything I did not like about this class. It was challenging without being overwhelming, which I cannot say for other courses I have taken. I believe this has been my favorite online course yet.
I liked how the discussion board was a grade which increased the interaction between classmates when the course was online. There is plenty of content in the modules and it has a lot of links and references to help understand specific topics which can be used in the future.
The class was straight forward. I liked the online platform because I work full time and have a child so it made it easier for me to complete the work on my own time.
I appreciate having the OERs offered for this course. Not having to worry about paying for expensive books every once in a while is a huge relief. I appreciate that my teacher for this class did not give us a bunch of empty busy work or difficult assignments. I felt I learned very well from the assignments given to me, and none of them were overly difficult or time-consuming.
