What did you dislike about the online portion of this course?
·
I liked the fact that I was on my own time; that I could do the
work at my own pace and not someone else.
·
I did not like, however, reading so much and having only two to
three days to do two essays. But that comes with a summer class I guess.
Summers are always rushed.
·
When the system went down. No way to access anything.
·
There wasn't anything that really stood out to me that I disliked.
·
n/a
·
Some of the issues that I had with the assignments tool, besides
that it were okay.
·
There were no dislikes; I personally needed to become more
proficient with word processing skills as a novice to on-line education.
·
Nothing too much so far :) --oh, one of the tests at first had two
diff ways to get to the info page...and I’d been going through one link...
Then when I was about to submit it I double checked and the other link gave
a different assignment. I nearly had a panic attack! it was fixed pretty
quickly though
·
The only part of this course that I disliked was that sometimes,
because this is an online course, I experienced computer troubles. Because
we had to download many programs and use them regularly, I often had
troubles with my computer.
·
Finding articles for the term project was very hard to do.
·
I do miss the one-on-one personal contact with students and the instructor.
However, this is just one class this semester that I have online. Most of
my art classes meet at a scheduled time during the week. Having an online
class that is flexible has been a nice break from a routine.
·
Having to remind myself to do the work.
·
I couldn’t raise my hand and ask questions as easy as I could in
class
·
I do not like the short session-it is too much information in a
short time period. I do not feel that I have learned as well as I would
have in a regular length course.
·
Nothing.
·
No dislikes. Good course.
·
The fact that there is no way for me to be reminded about my work
outside of checking WebCT everyday.
·
All the reading
·
I felt as I was rushed since this was a summer class.
·
It is sometimes difficult to remember deadlines.
·
I do like face to face class time. The films were really nice and
the only way to watch them was on face to face days.
·
With it being an online summer course, the workload was
overloading and there was a lack of direction. In addition, there was just too much
information and I spent half the time searching for what I needed within
the coursework.
·
I never really thought about it.
·
WebCT can sometimes be a pain. It is not always easy to
use.
·
I LIKED EVERYTHING.
·
I guess it's a trade-off for not commuting to a physical classroom
environment. I dislike the impersonality of technology whereby I cannot
physically experience verbal interactions with my instructor and
classmates. I've come to the realization that I am a visual and auditory
learner.
·
It was very fast paced.
·
I miss the interaction with classmates and the professor
·
the content
·
nothing
·
It was very hard to get in touch with my teacher.
·
I absolutely loved all of it!
·
I felt as though the teacher was being lazy and whenever we did
have class we just watched a movie.
We did not get grades in a timely fashion and when the teacher was
about it she replied 'sorry - she was busy because she was coming up for
tenure'
·
I enjoyed it
·
I like the face to face interaction of a regular classroom.
·
I don't like the fact, for this specific class, that there are not
examples posted as to what the teacher wants. You can put it in paragraph
form but examples are a lot better that way student understands what is
required of them.
·
Nothing really more time on quizzes.
·
I'm not going to get into it here.
·
The last set of test
·
Not having the personal student/teacher relationship.
·
I didn't like the essay assignments because I felt I was never
prepared with the right information to write on. The film clip assignment we had been
excruciating. The Clips were not
completed and continuous.
·
Not being able to email or go to the teacher's office for help
·
nothing
·
Nothing was completely clear, and the tutorials and information
were hard to find and hard to understand and learn from.
·
none
·
I wish the deadline could have been like 10pm on Fridays instead
of 12pm.
·
nothing
·
not much control over some problems
·
tele-tutoring
·
Hard to quickly get answers from teachers and online discussions
are slow
·
N/A
·
NOTHING. Keep up the GOOD work.
·
system glitch’s and expectations were not clear
·
Sometimes the directions weren't as clear as they would have been
if presented in a normal classroom.
·
I did not dislike any portions of this class.
·
nothing
·
it was too short
·
It may be because of the content of the course, but I have never
worked as hard as I have for this course.
This includes work that I have completed for other college degrees
including one of my master's degrees.
My thinking is that working on-line may require more work than
attending a class at the university.
·
Nothing for this course but I am not sure I would like a math
class online
·
The lack of response from TA's/ professor regarding complaints
about grades.
·
The quizzes for the very long chapters that was hard
·
What I didn’t like was I missed an online quiz and the professor
wouldn't let me go back and take it so that kind of sucks consider that
some people ,might not be able to get their books on time.
·
Those exams were due at 5 pm. it made things difficult with my 8-5
job. It seemed that a midnight deadline would be more sensible.
·
The amount of work that is crammed into one day
·
My first assignment file was corrupted and couldn't be opened by
the person grading so I lost the 30 points. I was unaware there was a
problem with the file until after the deadline. Since there was proof that
the file was submitted on time I should have been able to resend for
partial credit. With computers you will have problems and you would think
that the computer science teachers would understand of legitimate problems.
I was also taking an ecore American Lit. Class
and if we had a problem like that the teacher would allow some concession.
·
I disliked the start up time of WebCT
vista.
·
That I did not get a thorough explanation when points were taken
off of my assignment.
·
n/a
·
There was a lot of reading in the second book.
·
the last assignment was not in detail and I would not have been
able to complete it at home without receiving assistance from student
assistant
·
Sometimes it is harder to understand things when you can’t just ask
a question like you can in class and its not face to face learning so you
have to be able to learn on your own.
·
I found myself making more time to do other things first.
·
At times the slides or movies we watch for exams or discussions
may be a bit bumpy. They sometimes freeze or don't finish.
·
Often wait until last minute to complete assignments.
·
I had no complaints about this course.
·
No face to face discussion.
·
Having strict due dates I think defeat the purpose of this kind of
online class.
·
The amount of reading required to submit my opinion and answers on
discussion questions. The amount of
time given to read and discuss is not enough.
·
It was really hard to study a class about visual art online. This
is one of those classes where I think the student could get more from an in
class discussion and lecture.
·
Cost of text... and deadlines for quizzes.
·
Potential for disaster.
·
I find that I am an auditory learner and need to hear the
information in order to retain it. I am also not disciplined enough to make
myself do the reading, and at least in class, I can hear the information in
discussion.
·
There was nothing that comes to mind that I disliked about the
course.
·
That sometimes I would forget when an assignment was due.
·
The teacher was hard to get in touch with.
·
When I had a problem...I wanted to talk with a person, instead of
email to make sure I was conveying everything correctly.
·
The 10 min quizzes....needed more time
·
at times it would be nice to ask a question face to face
·
I asked a question regarding the course not technical issues, and
was given a link to someone in tech support.
·
I wish I would have know earlier that discussions were based on
how many you read as well as how many you responded to compared to the rest
of the class.
·
It is hard sometimes to comprehend the material just by reading
·
The Webpage assignment was very hard.
·
Sometime you forget when the due date was and miss a deadline, but
besides that it was fine
·
Some of the questions were ambiguous. There were 3 right answers
(straight out of the book) and once the test was taken, it was taken. Felt
like there was no recourse. I still had an 'A' in the class, but for
someone with a B or lower, this might be an important factor. I also had
Office 2007 installed, and the course was over Office 2003. I asked at
orientation if there were any significant differences between them and the
instructor said, 'no'. Turns out that there are a few.
·
There was nothing I did not like.
·
Nothing
·
to much reading and not fully understanding material
·
It was fine.
·
I did not like the fact that the teacher did not get to know the
students the fact that i had missed an assignment
because of an emergency and the teacher did not believe me was unfair and
the grading is unfair how can the teacher base your grade off the other
class mates works that is not fair and it is showing favorites.
·
It was fine.
·
There's nothing I disliked about it.
·
After working on as assignment and verified the submission along
with the attachment, then when graded received a zero and is advised that
nothing was attached. However, on my computer one can view all assignment
that has been submitted. Even assignments that were submitted for this same
class prior to this semester can also be viewed.
·
The deadlines and the many downloads that you have to use for all
the work.
·
Nothing
·
That if when I worked on it I needed help, it was not always
available, I might have had to wait until the next day, and that could be
too late.
·
It was difficult having to remind myself to take the quizzes and
turn in the assignments.
·
n/a
·
If I don’t understand the assignment there isn’t much help.
·
The lack of personal interaction.
·
Nothing....once I figured out the time frame of items that were
due.
·
n/a
·
I felt that the expectations were unclear
·
I didn't like that the teachers would not accept email questions.
If it's an online course, I would assume that I wouldn't have to come on
campus and ask them questions during their office hours.
·
I couldn't always get the attachments for submissions to work
right and my grade will suffer because of it.
·
I didn't like the how the quizzes are set up. I missed few quizzes at the beginning. It
took me some time to get the hang of it.
·
The timed quizzes.
·
For this particular class, I prefer it to be online during a
summer session but overall I didn't like the fact that it was online class
because I highly prefer to have a face-to-face interaction with my teachers
and my colleagues.
·
I live on campus and the entire UWG server was down all over
campus. The instructor extended the deadline but made it a point to say
that web ct had been available for the past 48 hours. That might have been
true where they were, but we can't access a website that was available on
the internet if the internet was inaccessible. And it wasn't because I
stayed on campus either...the web was down in the TLC, the UCC, the
classrooms, etc. I guess the instructors take the 'no excuse' thing to the
extreme. And I had trouble submitting the last assignment and a few
quizzes. I wrote them about it, and all I got in reply was 'No submission.
0/40'.
·
No complaints.
·
I disliked the over load of work that is squeezed in a summer
session. It became over bearing sometimes for one person, but I guess
that's why they call it college.
·
Some of the assignments
·
It was difficult to get help when I needed it. I work late hours and usually if I needed
help I could not get it in time.
·
if my computer shut down there’s nothing they can do
·
The instructor did not respond to questions related to the class
materials but simply kept referring me back to the class syllabus.
·
The teacher gave quizzes and exams over stuff that were not in the
related chapters then made us look them up when she should have made the
corrections herself
·
Too small of timeframe for work completed. Constantly rushing through classes is NOT
learning.
·
nothing
·
We had trouble with the questions; they came from all over the
book rather than the chapters that were assigned. But our teacher worked
with us to fix it and gave us all a fair chance to pass.
·
I never feel I learn as much as face to face course
·
no
·
No complaints
·
It was ok
·
Not knowing what I had missed on quizzes
·
There wasn't anything that I really disliked about it.

·
Nothing. It was an excellent course.
·
There were not dislikes.

Lack of face-to-face learning.
·
Nothing
·
Wasn't sure if professor received submissions (done through email
and no confirmations).
·
Nothing.
·
Sometimes I could not get the PowerPoint’s to work properly.
·
I really can't complain about this class because I learned
something.
·
I missed the in-class lectures and if I had a question I could not
ask the professor face to face.
·
N/A
·
Maybe a too much material to cover in a three week period.
·
None
·
I enjoyed the professor's lectures immensely and I believe missing
the lectures and instruction of the professor to be the only weakness of an
online course.
·
servers going down and unable to contribute within the time frame
·
There wasn't much explanation of the required work for this class.
It took me about a week to figure out what I was supposed to do. I also
didn't like that we had a group project for an on-line course. I live an
hour away so it made it very difficult to meet with my group.
·
It didn't have enough direction!
·
n/a
·
I ran out of time on some quizzes.
·
n/a
·
They were mainly professor related, the program worked great.
·
Instructor didn't use Webct 100% which
caused a good deal more work & confusion having to check two sites.
·
nothing at all
·
It is hard to understand when there is no one to explain a new
program to you
·
nothing
·
The complicated ways of submitting grades when the auto-submit
failed to work, which was every time.
·
It’s hard to work in a group when you have a group project.
·
Nothing
·
Not really anything I did not like about this course.
·
I liked it all for this course
·
It makes me nervous about submitting things by computer without a
hardcopy. But the teacher was very understanding so nothing about this
class was bad.
·
I did not dislike anything.
·
no complaints
·
No face to face contact. Could not disagree with analysis of
responses to quizzes.
·
N/A
·
Nothing!
·
Nothing
·
harder than expected
·
Nothing.
·
It was more complicated than it had to be. The submissions were not all on WEBCT,
some were done on an alternate site.
This split in submission forums seems silly in a 4000 level CISM
class.
·
Lack of personal interaction.
·
Nothing
·
n/a
·
No personal touch of the professor
·
It's easy to get behind if you don't stay on top of things
·
Not being able to ask questions and get answers right away.
·
Time management
·
N/A
·
Nothing I can think of
·
nothing
·
I was satisfied so this is nit picking but a couple of the project
modules required more time than what was allowed but he allowed multiple
submissions so that really isn't a big deal.
·
There was nothing in particular that I disliked about the course.
·
Nothing.
·
the tests and quizzes were messed up, but that wasn't the
teacher's fault
·
But questions were extremely tricky. But overall it was a good
course, I found some answers in the book word for word but some were wrong
that's what made me frustrated.
·
There was nothing I disliked about the online portion of this
class.
·
nothing
·
The exams would not transmit to the professor properly. The professor did not stick to the
syllabus. The workbook was
mind-numbing and a complete waste of time.
·
My quizzes never were registered by WebCT
- I had to e-mail them to professor.
stressful until I realized that's what I needed to do
·
I do miss the face-to-face interaction with other students.
·
Time consuming but I am an overachiever and wanted to make sure I
had all the answers.
·
It was very fast paced and sometimes difficult to make sure I had
everything complete because we weren't in class to ask the questions.
·
Most of the time you teach yourself. I don't really like emailing
waiting on answers.
·
I do not have any complaints concerning this course.
·
Nothing bad here.
·
Some of the questions were unfair on the quizzes and I felt like
it didn't really matter whether or no I said anything because most people
probably did not say anything. It's always to grasp someone's attention
when you are face to face. But an online course doesn't allow a person to
make connections with the professor.
·
Convenience of studying from home
·
Nothing. I love online classes.
·
Some of the pages of the modules never loaded. The things that
didn't load showed up on the test later.
·
That some of the instructions were not detailed enough. For
example, the excel project said to get the averages of 3 categories but it
did not explain how to get the averages, or what numbers to look at for which
ones. There were tons of numbers and tons of averages that could have been
used; I lucked out by just trying things and getting the right answers. But
it didn’t explain that and it's important.
·
WEB CT WAS NOT UTILIZED BY THE PROFESSOR FOR THIS CLASS
·
The not being able to meet with the teacher a little more
regularly.
·
Some assignments needed to be emailed back to the professor, which
was done in a timely fashion, yet the professor gave us no way to know if he
had received those emailed assignments and later said that he did not
receive them - something needs to be put into place to insure that students
can know for sure that their assignments are received. Also, my main complaint about online
schooling is that I am paying for an instructor to actually teach
something. There was absolutely
nothing taught in this class, I can go pick up a book and read up on a
subject any time that I want for free.
I value in class discussion much more than online postings because
the exchange is much more dynamic.
You don't have to ask a question and then wait for one or two days
for a response that just ends up showing that the professor didn't
understand the original question. In
a face-to-face setting the exchange usually produces the information you
are seeking, on line that is not always the case.
·

I don't feel that I received that grades I received was a true
representative of the work I did.

I need help navigating through the chat. How to stop the screen from moving up

There really wasn't enough online work to call this an online
class.
·
nothing on-line was very appropriate and useful for this class
·
nothing
·
This online class required face to face group participation. It
required using SPSS software that had to be accessed on campus. I had
issues with a video assignment and did not have after hour’s assistance for
WebCT. UWG IT did have to record and repost for
me. Accessing it on campus was not a problem but off campus it was!

group work
·
Difficult to engage team members that were not onboard with
assignments, given the short timeline for deadlines.
·
n/a
·
nothing
·
the format of posting & replying (discussion), involved too
much research, majority of assignments were finding journal articles to
cite in postings, requires way too much time on the computer each day
·
Too many assignments back to back
·
Having to switch back and forward to access course documents, WebCT would appear as open windows so you can access
documents discussion etc with a one second click.
·
Know face to face help.

·
There were not enough hands on learning associated with this
class.
·
It was sometimes hard to talk to group members except for online.
·
Everything was smooth and organized and enjoyed it being online
·
It was challenging, I won’t lie. Super challenging.
·
Nothing
·
the communication
·
That you need to stay on top of it or it will catch up and hurt you
in the end.
·
WebCt Glitches
·
Lack of face-to-face communication.
·
You only have access to the controls the professor turns on.
·
Nothing really.
·
There are too many workbook questions. cut back on that and its
all good
·
The workbook was absolutely nuts! It was busy work that had little
to do with the online course work. The questions could have been cut down
to at least half and put more on point to the course subject matter. I felt
the 3 to 6 hours spent on the questions was unproductive time.
·
The invitation portion of WebCT did not
work well. I would invite students and the professor to chat and I never
received a response from anyone. I did this several times and never got a response.
·
Sometimes something was confusing and I had to constantly email my
professor for explanation.
·
It requires a lot of reading
·
nothing
·
I didn't like working in groups online. It was difficult for everyone to meet
online at the same time. I would
rather work on individual projects.
·
Lack of communication with other students.
·
Nothing
·
The material and exams have been fine, but the group project has
been far too time intensive for such a short period of time. It's also
required a good bit of face-to-face contact for an online class.
·
school website being done often
·
Work was overwhelming but it was okay.
·
When the Internet was down
·
I didn't find anything wrong with it
·
That sometimes he gave basically busy work.
·
Online required chat sessions were difficult because of
interference with work. The requirement of these sessions was not
communicated until the first day of class; I recommend that this be
communicated much earlier.
·
nothing
·
I don’t like doing group projects in an online class. You take it
so that you can do it on your own time and do not have to come to campus. With
groups you are forced to meet almost everyday.
·
hard to do everything over email
·
nothing
·
It counts off for you clicking wrong twice. Sometimes you just
misread the directions, and sometimes it is a slip of the hand. I also was never successful in downloading
Authorware onto my laptop.
·
the difficulty of communicating with the professor
·
It was difficult to get in contact with teacher.
·
Too much work for a summer semester class. This class should have
been over spread over the 4 sessions of summer semester. Too much face to face meeting. Worst
online experience out of all the classes I took online.
·
nothing
·
Nothing
·
It was hard for me to figure out how to chat with my classmates
through the WebCT Vista. I could not figure out
how to contact more than 1 person to do an 'instant message' type
conversation with them.
·
WebCT was not accessible one day. (Not a Friday or 10:00 p.m) and I had a quiz due that day. Messed up my grade
and nobody seem to care.
·
I didn’t like the group projects. I don’t understand how to work
with other people that I haven’t met when I am more than 85 miles away. I
ended up doing all of the group projects by myself
·
how WebCT acted up sometimes and
interrupted my class time

Computer went down a lot.

It was hard to understand how to post assignments in WebCT.

It is a little harder to remember when work is due as supposed to
physically being in class and having to do work everyday.

The load of the summer online course was overwhelming. I felt that
I didn't have a true perception of how demanding the courses would be.

I continue to appreciate face to face meetings with my instructors
because I feel there are certain knowledge tasks which are more easily
communicated with personal contact.

been better understood by students had there been more face to face class

I have no dislikes concerning this online course. I will advise no one to take three
courses in the summer though. I
learned the hard way.
·
Some discussion topics were given via email instead of being under
the discussion tab.
·
I was totally dissatisfied with the number of discussion
postings. Compared with other
classes, this course had too many, a total of 9 or 10 graded ones as well
as other postings for our group projects.
·
Many times the work for classes takes more time if the classes are
online. If you are attending ca class
in person you actually invest less time because some instructors list more
work because it's an online class. I
found the work load in this class to be slightly more than some, but not
the most I have had to do for some other online courses.
·
When it goes off line when I am trying to chat.
·
nothing
·
WebCT made the course more challenging; I understand how it
works, but every time I open an attachment from a discussion board post or
email, it kicks me off. The distance
part of distance learning also stands out; I don't even recognize many of
my classmates, and collaborating on group projects online is a little
awkward at times, because it can be easy for typed messages to be
misconstrued.
·
The 'distance' part really stands out; it is difficult to get to
know classmates that you only see three times per semester.
·
my group members were terrible
·
I enjoy more face-to-face interaction with classmates and
instructors.
·
Because of the increased flexibility, I think maybe more discussion
was required than would have been in a traditional environment.

I did feel some pressure to take the QUIZ. In part because I would wait until after

I wish we had less face to face meetings.
·
I didn't like having to meet more than once for face to face.
·
I didn't like evaluating articles- but it did help me learn more
about the topic I was presenting.
·
Most of the major assignments had student examples to help with
the completion of my own assignment.
This did not help me with direct questions that I had about the
assignment. As I am a visual
learner, I needed the instructor to instruct me by modeling his OWN example
of the assignments. Also, the home
page for this course was difficult to follow. I had a hard time trying to stay caught
up as the assignments were all over the home page in different
locations. I didn't know if I had
completed my assignments. The
on-line Discussions were constantly being added which made it very
difficult for me to focus on other aspects of the course.

On Fridays, webCT goes down for
maintenance. Also, trying to
collaborate with classmates on assignments was hard.
·
My instructor did not use WebCT for this
course. That was very frustrating to go to his moodle
site every time I wanted to be online with his class. His site was very
slow at many times. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! It was also inconvenient!!! If the
instructors started using their own website, I'm not sure I would continue
my education at West GA. WebCT should be required
to be used by all instructors to post their courses.

it's just hard to remember due dates

I didn't dislike anything.
It was great!

I did not like the inability to work at my own pace. I was
continually waiting on my professor to open assignments and quizzes so that
I could continue my work. I also did not like the changes in and addition
of assignments after directions/expectations had been given. There were too
many students admitted into this course. It would have been more effective
with a group smaller than 30+.

I think we are all having a little trouble learning how to get WebCT Wimba Live Classroom
working. We are going to try it for class this last session and it really
saves time driving to campus, but I think it still has some kinks that can
be worked out; the professors learning at the same time the students are
how to use it. Maybe there should be a session to learn it. I don't like
that the classes don't show up as archived after a semester is over so you
have to save everything or lose it eventually, but I realize that it takes
up a lot of space as inconvenient as it is to not just have it to look back
on. I am confused also by the changes coming down the pike with Foliotek, and I'm going to be angry if we have to post
for it for SACS but they start to make the students pay for it as part of
their fees when it's the university's responsibility to archive stuff for
SACS, not ours. I am urging not to charge students. I just heard rumor that might happen, it hasn't happened yet.

I ran into problems twice while attempting to post required
information for on-line discussion groups. WebCT
went down for maintenance at 10pm on those Friday nights and I had
information that had to be posted by 11:59pm.
·
Nothing.
·
This teacher did not respond back to important e-mails, did not
post assignments through webct on time, did not
answer discussion board questions, and did not post assignment grades in a
timely manner. I will not be taking any other classes from this teacher
again.
·
Many of the questions were vague enough that it would have been
nice to see the instructor sometime.
·
The only thing I did not like was when I had to take the final
exam and it was timed. There was a lot of material that was covered and not
enough time to take the test.
·
I did not like the fact that you have to re-enter your password
when you access some parts of the website.
·
Very independent learning.
Inquiry-based. Sometimes made
assignments difficult.
·
Wimba was required the first week. I could not successfully run the wimba wizard without blue screen messages indicating a
dump of my internal memory had begun.
This caused me much stress and used my learning time the first week
of class communicating with wimba and on-line
support at West Georgia,(They
were very helpful.) And trying many times to run the wizard. I was quite upset to think that I might
have to go to campus to participate in wimba
classrooms. Using my computer at
HOME and at my convenience is reason I find on-line classes desirable.

There were too many assignments for the short summer semester.
There were too many discussion assignments. All assignments for the course
were not posted at the beginning of the course. We had 10 lesson plans to
critique on Monday of the last week. Some discussions were posted within
discussions. In at least one major assignment, the instructions were
emailed, rather than placed in the assignment section. Grading system
wasn't clear to me. The reflective essay instructions were confusing. In
one place, specific subheading was absolutely required. In another, we were
told the subheadings were just examples. I felt like I had to hunt
assignments each DAY. This class was an elective for me and I spent more
time on it than on the Research class. F2F meetings could have been used to
go over all the particular fonts, spacing... and module requirements. All
modules should have been posted at the beginning so we could pace things
out. There were too many projects & discussions & hidden tasks.
·
Professor did not spend the proper amount of time setting up his
class and the quiz materials were outdated and many were not correct. I will not take this instructor again and
I will advise others not to take him.
·
During face-to-face classes, class time was used to address the
website operating processes for novice users. Although many students
appeared to possessed adequate computer competencies, they still had many
questions about where to find assignments, chats, postings, etc.
·
Professor occasionally forgot to make portions 'visible' for
student postings and discussions.
·
The discussion sessions were hurried for me because of the summer
session.
·
Everything was great. (In
regards to the library, I couldn't get the Galileo password to work and
never got a proper answer from the person who emailed after I requested the
password).
·
The helpdesk is not open on the weekend when I do most of my work!
The network was unavailable last Saturday but I couldn't get anyone to
answer the phone and tell me to expect it to come back up. I was in the
middle of taking a test when it froze up and went down.

It was tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it t became

was very difficult the first week.
There should be an online tutorial that is optional for students to
take regarding webct use and distance technology

I dislike the not being able to know and document when someone has
opened mail that I have sent. I dislike not being able to send and receive
mail within WebCT. Sometimes I receive great resources that
I would like to maintain in an email account. I am unable to email that information to
myself at my other email account.
Once the courses are over. I lose all information. There is no spelling and grammar check
feature on the discussions and mail.
·
There is no spelling/grammar check for mail and discussion
messages. There is no way of knowing
if and when someone has opened your mail and discussion messages.

It can become overwhelming trying to cram the required information

It created much more confusion than any other course I have taken.
Online courses are also difficult if you rely solely on campus computer
labs for Internet access(as they are not open as late during the summer,
are not open for your convenience if you don't work the typical 9-5, if you
work on weekends, etc.)It is hard to go around the computer lab schedules
and get the time I need on-line when they close so early.
·
Last night I could not log onto webct!!!
Otherwise things are going well. I
feel more comfortable with this, my second class, than I did with the first
one.
·
Not a dislike, just a little confusing. Directions were 'wordy' and hard to
understand. After about 2 weeks in the course I caught on and it got
better. No dislikes! :)
·
Wimba crashed a couple of times.
·
None
·
There was a lot of initial confusion about coursework, but that
was cleared up. What really bothered me was the enormous potential for
things typed in bulletin boards, chat rooms, wimba,
etc. to be taken out of context. It was very upsetting to have someone
misconstrue what you were trying to say.
·
It was tough not knowing ahead of time when the Live Classroom was
going to meet. Again, I had to schedule my time very specifically; might
have been more helpful if we had known at least a week and a half, two
weeks in advance when to meet in Live CR. Not a problem, but just made
things a little tight.
·
The TEACHER was soooooo disorganized and
did not appear to know what was going on in the class. Most of the time he would tell us how to
do an assignment and we would do it like he said and then when it was
turned in her critiqued what he had told us to do. I will never take a course with my
instructor if I
can help it.

This course was particularly confusing but it was because the way
the prof set it up. Once I got going it was okay but still a
scrambled prof.
I appreciate that she allowed us to choose our discussion board
method and really like the Wimba classroom
stuff. This is so much easier and
allows for more learning than other modes like BB and Chat. Unfortunately the WestGA
server went down and I did not get to participate in our final on-line
class.

It takes some getting used to as far as NOT being in a classroom
where there is more discussion and one on one communication with your
teacher. When you study on-line you have to be very self-motivated and able
to self-teach on material you are not familiar with.

I do not feel that group discussions online are very important and
consider them kind of a waste of time.

Group work is difficult online specially during the short summer

Hard to communicate with professor, she felt very unavailable and
disinterested in me as a person, perhaps because she has no idea who I am.

I have no idea who most the people in my class are. I am
evaluating storyboards and lesson plans for classmates that I do not know.
·
I found it difficult to keep up with discussions and
assignments. things are posted in
different places-it would work better for me if everything were in one
place or there was a checklist provides ahead of time to help me keep up
with my postings, discussions, and assignments-it would be nice if they
would all appear in the calendar
·
It was not always 100% organized, and I think if we had met face
to face a few times that would have helped the organization and how the
students understood the professor.
·
I think I may have learned a little less, because of the subject
matter. Face to Face learning may have been more beneficial for this type
of class.

Not having clear instructions on assignments and not getting

There was no finalized syllabus so the students had no clue what to expect.
Projects were not graded and handed back to us. I have two grades that I know of, and it
is the last week of class. No one
knows what their grades are. Projects/assignments
were not clearly established and given with little time to complete them.
·
Teacher did not have clear directions or grading standards. Time was extremely short to complete the
amount of work required(about 6 Hour a day for this one class)
·
I was not impressed with the online help call service. When I had a problem with my computer,
something simple like how to do a certain thing, the people that I called were no help at
all and their solution to my problem was to bring my computer in to them,
which is ridiculous

The course was not very organized.
There was a lot of confusion concerning assignments among the
students. When we attempted to
address the issues, which were very common amongst the students, we were
never able to get clarification on many of the assignments. We seemed to be left with more questions
than answers. In some assignments, we never adequately knew expectations
until after our assignments were graded and more conversation took place
making us aware of expectations.
·
I would have preferred having a syllabus ready so that I could work
ahead if need be. The way the class worked I ended up overloaded with work
the last two weeks of the semester and was barely doing anything the first
four weeks because the modules were not open for me to work ahead.

Less student-student interaction than I am

Much more work required than in face-to-face meetings. This summer

There was almost too much information to sift through on WebCT. Sometimes readings and assignments would change
and I had already completed these. That is very frustrating. I know that
professors should be able to make changes, but if they tell us to work ahead
and then change the assignments, it is extremely aggravating.

Sometimes it was hard communicating my ideas about answers for
quizzes that I feel were scored incorrectly through email.

It was an online course, but we did not have the flexibility to
work on my schedule. She required us
to be on line at a certain time.
This defeated the purpose of an online course. I may as well meet face to face. I have never been in a class so
unstructured.
·
I did not like the way sams
and moodle kept crushing on me. You never knew
when taking a test whether or not the program or website was going to crush
on you.

Some assignments hinged on other classmates having posted an
item--many classmates waited till the last minutes.

Pretty much everything else.

There were too many documents and the organization of them was
confusing at times. Some documents were outdated and caused confusion. All
documents contained spelling errors and typos. I found this to be very
unprofessional.

There were too many assignments for this summer semester. The work was very overwhelming because
the summer is so short.

There was not anything I disliked about this class.

The only part of the class I did not like was the face to face

·
This class was a complete nightmare... our syllabus was never
specific on assignments or point value and we NEVER had a rubric given to
us before an assignment was due.
Actually, I only saw one rubric the whole semester and that was a
week and a half after the assignment was due. The professor was rude and degrading to
all students. The assignments were
ridiculous and our examples were his final projects from his doctorate work! Although the concepts of this class had
tons of potential, this class was a waste of my time and effort. I was so busy with busy work- such as
critiquing TEN lesson plans AFTER the assignment was submitted for grading,
that I had no time to learn from my peers.
Discussions were overbearing and limiting. I have NO CLUE what my final grade is
because the teacher will not grade assignments that were due a month ago,
but keeps piling on new ones. I had
to search for assignments and direction for assignments that were tucked
away and hidden.
·
I disliked having Project 3 and 4 due so close together- but what
can I expect with a summer class!
·
email replies, learning alone--no peer interaction

I didn't like checking for assignments in two different places. I
didn't really like the class wiki.
·
I had no dislikes.
·
sometimes hard to meet for help
·
Nothing really.
·
Inability to have face to face communication with professor on
subject material
·
I had no background in the subject matter so I believe the format
of the course (online, not face-to-face) was not the best for me
personally. I would have benefited more in a forum where I could verbally
ask questions and get spoken answers. My dislike is more to do with my
background than with the course.
·
I do not like participating in the teacher created blog. It is cumbersome to use. It requires too many
layers to process through. When I read someone's response it closes me out
and takes me to the top and I have to scroll through 80+ responses to find
where I was in order to respond. The responses are all closed and I have to
open each one to read and close it out to respond. I prefer a running
conversation format that is similar to me e-mail inbox or a blog spot where I can see sequentially responses and
not just titles.

nothing

The number of steps it took to get to my course thorugh Web
CT. It
was tedious and cumbersome.

no complaints

There was no involvement from the instructor at all; it was a
completely self taught course.

Nothing

Nothing
·
Not having class discussions and hearing feedback from other
students in the course. I always pick up so much in the classroom listening
to other's questions and the professor’s examples and discussions.
·
Getting to know classmates in face-to-face sessions but I really
like not having to drive over to Carrollton
for each class.

Nothing.

Once, one of my assignments didn't attach properly and I almost
missed a deadline.

The upgrades being done on Friday nights...that's when I like to

excessive work ...busy work
·
There is nothing that I disliked about this course.
·
The web site set up was confusing.
When I was graded there were two places to post one assignment, the
instructor said he couldn't erase one of the places, so it looked like I
received a 0 for an assignment that I completed. However, all the other courses that I
have taken online, the professor was able to delete extra documents on the
web site. The set up for the web page for this course was very confusing.
·
Information was in 10 different places and not consistent from one
class to the other. When I needed
help with the system crashing constantly it was VERY difficult to find out
who to contact and then when I emailed twice, I got no reply. I finally
took it upon myself to try Firefox and that
worked beautifully but I still get an error message from you saying Browser
not supported every time I signed on.
Go figure.
·
a lot of work
·
Some of the chat times were inconvenient to me, but there is never
going to be a convenient time for everyone on the roll.
·
The instructor did not use VistaCT and
access was slow. Some data was
lost. Instructions were not always
clear.
·
none
·
lack of feedback and accountability
·
I liked it all.
·
It is easier to take a class face to face if you live nearby. It
helps to actually see the professor regularly and to see your group members
face to face.
·
The group work is more difficult to do on-line.
·
The lack of face to face instruction, accountability, and feedback.
·
Sometimes the course is harder than face to face meeting because
it is so time consuming.
·
Can't think of a thing!
·
Nothing.
·
I did not like the on-line discussion portion of the class.
·
Lack of instruction and guidance on projects.
·
Not always getting the quick response from the instructor in a
face-to-face class.
·
The PowerPoint notes weren't hard, but some of the recordings on
some of the slides were long. If I missed on thing she said I had to
completely start over. And when I only have my lunch break from work to do
it, it can get a little stressful. Another thing, could the quizzes be due
later instead of five o'clock. Most people take these online courses
because they work, and when most people don't get off till five or later,
that makes it a little complicated.
·
The group participants were not always on the same accord.
·
Something was not documented clearly.
·
N/A
·
Nothing really. I mean sitting behind a computer ALL day is never
fun but for a class I really enjoyed it.

·
Feeling disconnected from my other classmates and my
instructor. Sometimes it is good to
have more face-to-face interaction for accountability.
·
see answer above
·
No face to face discussions.
Difficult to communicate expectations.
·
Sometimes it was difficult to understand directions, so you must
be patient as there is not a way to get immediate feedback.
·
Not having live discussions in class.
·
n/a
·
interaction with the instructor
·
MEDT 6464 does have a lot of 'busy work', but I suppose we need it
to learn the skill of referencing.
·
Nothing
·
The fact that components did not always work as they were supposed
to or that my assignments were not there. If they were there I sometimes
couldn't open them to do my work and then worrying about getting a bad
grade.
·
Not being able to ask questions face to face
·
The teacher, the instructor does not do a good job of explaining.
The class was in WIMBA (a live chat room). She only joined us 2 times out
of the entire summer. She is very forgetful, and tends to go back on her
word. She is much unorganized even though her syllabus and 'Menu' looks
like the class is organized, she is not. I even went to a face to face
meeting with her to clear some things up, and she says one thing and then
does another. I have spoken to at least half of my class, and they all
agree. Some of my classmates have even gone to the Education Department to
report her. I know that it sounds like I just dislike her because I got a
bad grade, but I received a B in the class, I just don't want any other
students to have to sit through that class.
·
I disliked having to depend on written communication and
assignment information.
·
I disliked learning the material on my own without an in-depth
explanation from the teacher. At times, I didn't feel like I was completely
prepared for some of the quizzes and tests associated with the course. In
addition, I would've also liked more communication with my professor.
·
I had no dislikes.
·
At first I had some difficulty submitting projects via WebCt dropbox. I called the WebCt helpline and they were very helpful. I then learned how to submit. One thing I found puzzling. When I registered for this class, the
semester date was June 9th thru July 21st.
I am confused as to why we have assignments due on our class
calendar thru July 26th!
·
I had a really difficult time with webct
at the beginning of the course. I
called for assistance but I was never able to solve the problem. I was redoing work left and right. I turned some work in on late because of
this problem. I have a new computer which has Word 2007 and Vista. I had to complete most of my assignments at
work. This was very frustrating for
me.
·
I disliked that we were not given specific instructions initially
and that assignments were unable to be accessed until a day or two before
they were due which made it extremely difficult to get the work done
without having a point deduction.
·
Although I know to navigate on WebCT,
the professor displays her information in a disorganized matter. There are several subfolders and finding
the relevant and important information to the course is extremely
time-consuming and confusing.
·
I disliked the portion of this course that gave us our assignments
the day after we were suppose to have class. It was a T/Th
class and the assignments were posted Friday and were due Sunday at
midnight. This made it so we HAD to do all of our quizzes over the
weekend!! The teacher was very hard to reach and never in her office during
office hours!! I had to contact her fax to finally get in touch with her. I
am a transient student from Georgia
Southern and GSU is a lot better on having their professors in their
offices during their office hours.
·
a lot of assignments, and a lot of deadlines for submission
·
Problems could be time consuming to resolve.
·
I do not like the fact that some of the features on WebCT are not easy to find. I could not find the quiz
feature and this hurt my grade.
·
The large amount of assignments.
·
The professor that I had for this course was facilitating it for
another professor. Therefore, he did
not have control and the complaints I have should not be pinned on
him. With that in mind, I have taken
several classes with major Web
CT portions.
This class was set up to really limit my ability to work. In other classes I have been able to work
at my own pace. This class did not
do that, but instead greatly limited my access by keeping assignments
locked so I could not view them until the specific work window opened. We also had some difficulties with
understanding assignments. Because
the professor had not taught them before, and they were designed by another
man, we fumbled our way through the first several assignments.
·
no comment
·
The server would go down sometimes.
·
Difficulty understanding the material because I am not computer
savvy
·
The amount of work.
·
nothing
·
There are too many assignments. The discussions were actually
assignments like lesson plans. If you want to do a good job, you must sit
at your computer all day. The instructor is creative and has good lessons.
He just needs to weed out some of the smaller things so that we can
actually accomplish everything successfully.
·
Not registered for this class!!!!!!!
·
Nothing.
·
I would be kicked out on various occasions while using WebCT.
·
At first, I was not happy with the format of the weekly quizzes
(test taker could not go back to questions in the allotted time frame) but
I made my concern known and my instructor reevaluated the format. So my
dislike was quickly dissipated.
·
Nothing. I really enjoyed this online class. I just can not say enough
about the voice over on the lecture slide. Absolutely brilliant!!!
·
This class was too difficult for an online-only class. It needed to have at least a few
face-to-face meetings.
·
Most of the instructions for this course were unclear or
inconsistent. Even though it was a summer semester, I feel the work load
for this course was unnecessarily heavy.
·
I disliked the fact that I would encounter trouble when the system
was down.
·
The chat does not notify participants in a manner that they can
see well. We always notice it after the fact.
·
Nothing.
·
There was nothing that I disliked.
·
If I wasn't completely comfortable with what I needed to do I had
to wait for someone to answer my question on the discussion board or email
me back. (only because I hate calling the teacher on their personal time to
ask for help)
·
The instructor allowed one person to totally dominate the face to
face classes. No one else got to speak. She should have been able to
control this student and allow others to participate. This was a very difficult
class to take on line. It is too involved. I was basically teaching myself
the information. That's not why I pay tuition--to sit at home and teach it
to myself. The instructor yelled at a student on line. She was adamant and
used all capital letters. She was obviously angry. I did not appreciate her
attitude.
·
Not seeing and learning from the professor face to face.
·
Cannot ask questions of your instructor for clarity of information
when needed. Instructor does not allow student to complete assignment even
when difficulties navigating the web-vista causes the problem for the
student. Even you made an error posting this survey and had to repost it
again and ask students to redo the survey over. But student did not have
the opportunity to complete online assignment when an error or omission
happened due to the website, at least not with this instructor.
·
It was hard to get problems resolved in regards to getting in
contact with the instructor.
·
The calendar on WebCT where assignments
are listed was incorrect. This is a handy tool but is no good to me if it
is incorrect. The instructor changed aspects of assignments. They were
different than listed in syllabus. Why print a syllabus if you are going to
change things?
·
n/a
·
I did not like that the expectations for many assignments were not
made very clear and my professor was not using webct
and it was difficult to contact him through the site he was using.
·
The weird times for quiz submission.
·
I was told that I only had to take one MEDT class then later was
told I had to take this one.
·
At times it felt much distanced from instructors or classmates.
·
Too many assignments in a short period of time.
·
nothing
·
nothing.
·
Immediate help is more difficult to come by.
·
not have an instant (face to face) response when faced with a
problem
·
There was no teacher to talk me through the assignment.
·
I hate how the assignments are not in sequential order.
·
nothing
·
There was nothing I really did not like about this course.
·
Not knowing exactly what to do step by step in a few lessons... (I
think it was presumed users already had some background knowledge) But this
was the exception...most directions were clear and precise.
·
Driving to the bookstore to get materials like textbook and SAM
software. I also think the first
class could have been optional.
·
I personally do not do well in online classes. I lack self-discipline, which is a very
important trait needed to online classes
·
the due dates of the assignment
·
I enjoyed the class!
·
Nothing.
·
No dislikes
·
The amount of time it required every day. I didn't like having to be on line every
day. Having to read so many postings
was overwhelming and not very valuable.
·
The Ellsworth book. I did not do well on the test because I don't
like reading books like this one.
·
Liked everything about it.

Not getting to have as much face-to-face with the instructor

·
I like the face to face interaction that I get with a class I
would take at west ga.
·
I did miss the face to face interaction, but I would still take
the online class if available.
·
It was my first online course and it was somewhat of a surprise. I
registered for regular classes so I thought, but after the first day we
were told that they were both completely online. It was a blessing really!
·
Everything was great for me!!!!
·
Since we didn't go to class much it was not as easy to get
questions answered quickly because you have to wait for the person to open
the email and respond.
·
The instructor did not provide specific directions
·
I don't like it when Web
CT goes down for maintenance although this is
the first time that I couldn't attach my work because of it. On the Sat.
before class started I could not get on to get the bookstore hours. I
finally found the number, but it wasn't easy.
·
Liked everything!
·
The professor does not really know who each student is.
·
I like to be face to face sometimes when I have questions.
·
Teacher feedback
·
nothing I can think of
·
It was hard to do group projects over the internet.
·
I have no complaints--WebCT worked
wonderfully for me!
·
trying to get things together to post meeting deadlines
·
Having to collaborate with a partner that lived far away.
·
Nothing
·
My problems were not with the online course but with signing up
for the course. The class was on my WebCT and I thought I was registered but I found that I
was not. I spoke with many people
over three days who had no idea why the class was on my webct
but not on my banweb. This is my first class at West Ga since 2001. Many things have changed since that time
and I have been unable to locate any way to find answers to basic
questions.
·
nothing

Absolutely nothing.

Not yet determine
·
Time consuming. But it is Maymester.
·
Nothing really. The setup is very organized and I knew exactly
what to do when.
·
Nothing I loved the online course.
·
n/a
·
Pretty much had open notes while taking exams, did not provide me
incentive to actually read the chapters when i
could just look up the answers while taking tests. Tests should be
administered in person so students will learn more.
·
Did not realize it would be online. I thought I signed up for a
regular class. It was a blessing really.
·
n/a
·
The fact that UWG has 2003 programs on their computers, but passes
out the free software 2007. There
were glitches in some things going back and forth. If UWG is going to pass
out 2007 programs...they should have all the programs in the labs updated
as well.
·
When I needed help or there were technical problems I was in
really in a bind.
·
n/a
·
Sometimes the assignments would be confusing at home, but if you
went to the face to face meetings, it was fine.
·
some of the material was not easily understood without an
instructor
·
I did not like how difficult it was to contact the professor. All we were given for contact was
email. Email takes a long to for
response or I did not receive one.
·
Nothing
·
Too many assignments for a 3 week class that is online.
·
Everything was wonderful.
·
The fact that different assignments had different due times.
·
I really didn't like the fact that there wasn't face to face
interaction.
·
I had trouble with WebCT a couple of
times and wasn't able to finish my test.
·
I did not like having to meet in person.
·
good
·
I don't like the non-interaction with the other students.
·
I didn't have a dislike.
·
Of this particular course, nothing, if all online classes were
like this one I'd have them all online!
·
Nothing. For a class like
First Aid CPR it was appropriate.
