Fall 2009 Distance Education Survey (Student Comments)

Question 24: What did you dislike about the online portion of this course?

· none

· This course was fine to take online, the professor was very quick to respond to questions and concerns.

· reduced feedback

· Sometimes it is difficult to communicate with professor.

· a lot of work

· the amount of work and the book and software used for the class.

· A lot of busy work.

· Nothing. The instructor was very responsive and tried to help me when I needed it in a timely manner.

· Nothing.

· I liked everything!

· Very time consuming.

· That alot of the material would have been easier to understand if one could watch either a video with the instructor actually showing us how to do some of the assignments with the new techniques instead of just using the book to read and try to understand.

· The overall lack of face-to-face contact and communication you have available with an in-class setting.

· Found it hard to contact teacher and get answers at certain time regarding book work.

· The instructor was not as responsive to my emails as I would have liked her to be. She replied back 3 to 5 days later.

· This survey doesn't ask enough class specific questions. Ms. Smith did not provide the class with the standard evaluation forms, even though we all expected them. This class was full of students who had an unpleasant experience with ABED 4118, more specifically with Ms. Smith. Her tone and demeanor with students was extremely rude and she lacked compassion and understanding. My experience with Ms. Smith this semester was extremely poor. From the lack of clarity in presenting assignments to her random subjectivity in grading, I can honestly say that the class was conducted poorly. Her 'my way or no way attitude' rubbed many students the wrong way, and she didn't seem to care at all about the hostility that she had created within the class. I can't say that guidance was ever really provided. When students sent an email, it usually took Ms. Smith more than a week to reply. By this time the assignments were due and marked with the very errors that had been inquired about.

· Nothing.

· Working in groups outside of a classroom setting.

· Nothing

· I enjoyed it. There were no dislikes.

· Technology is hard and we were expected to know a lot already. We really needed to meet 4 or 5 times (not on line, but in class). My husband knows a lot about technology so he helped me. I then walked one of my teammates through assignments.

· needed to meet with group member for final assignment - maybe we could have a few classes at the campus

· The teacher

· NA

· Because this is an accounting class I didnt like the fact that it was online. I feel we needed more guidance on some of the material.

· none

· Mr. Colley never replied to an email in a timely fashion. It would take around 2 weeks for a reply. His online learning modules for the class were hard to understand and hear him. His assignments were nowhere near the realated subject for tests or quizzes. I do not recommend this teacher to anyone and hope I never have to take another course with him.

· nothing

· Nothing.

· The course material was presented in a boring manner.

· I don't like how if you don't understand something, you're on your own.

· The professor supposed that more work was needed to make up for the fact that we don't attend class.

· Everything. I think it is unfair that she changed things over the semester.

· There were still deadlines. I would like to be able to turn in my work when I am able to get the work done.

· I couldn't get the one-on-one attention that I have normally recieved. I wasn't able to ask simple questions like I would in a classroom. Sure, I could send an email; but getting a reply in time was tricky.

· There was nothing that I disliked.

· Hated that there were only 2 test. Hated the quiz shut you out if you started before the deadline but didn't finish before the deadline. Hated the aplia multiple choice answers because most of the time they all seemed CORRECT or didn't match with what the book said. That made it difficult to know the correct answers. Hated the fact that the FIRST test was after the drop date. what kind of mess is that. What if i failed it big time and couldn't make up. Lord knows aplia would help in that situation. This was my first and probably my last online class. Thanks UWG. Also thanks for charging me out of state tuition next semester after i been her 3 semesters already. Kennesaw State University...here i come or maybe Georgia State. Which ever don't charge out of state for a student who's parents been here 20 years and i for 1 1/2 years.

· That the aplia work is due on sunday night

· way too difficult

· nothing

· The questions on the online exams were rather lengthy and I felt there was not enough alloted time.

· The professor held online chat sessions from 10-11. It was impossible for me and probably others to attend the sessions because we were working.

· The online tests were difficult!

· I don't have any complaints about it.

· Nothing. It was another great semester at UWG

· I did not have anything that I disliked.

· nothing

· I had some questions about the chapter on assessment (the numbers associated with the tests, some of the concepts) that I would have benefitted from hearing further discussion.

· nothing

· I felt like I was teaching myself from the textbook.

· Its a lot of work. The questions on the tests weren't always as clear as I'd like, but they were good.

· There was not as much instructor interaction as a am accustomed to.

· Nothing

· nothing that I can think of really bothers me about on line classes. I wish there was a way to virtually talk to your teacher or have a live chat session that teachers can dedicate to students and teach different problems through chat

· sometimes i would forget about an assignment

· Nothing

· Nothing at all.

· It was all good.

· Nothing

· Some assignments were a bit complicated and could have used proffesional advice

· hard to keep up with work a little bit

· Nothing

· nothing

· Printing all the lessons (costs a lot in ink)and took up a lot of time.

· Not having access to the instructor.

· nothing

· Nothing.

· I was too advanced with microsoft programs to have had to take this class.

· too much reading

· n/a

· the school's internet connection was not helpful it would lose the connection randomly and would delay my progress on the assignment. the assignments instructions would sometimes not be helpful. i would have to do some of the assignment on my own knowledge and would not recieve full credit because something was not explained well in the instructions.

· I do not have any compliants about the online portion of this course.

· This course required you to use MS Vista, and I have Windows 7, so I was prepared to use the computers on campus, but there is only 1 room available for less than 2 hours a week that has computers with Vista on them, so I didn't like that.

· Plenty of work

· Some of the test questions were not in the information given to me and I sometimes found it hard to find the answers to those questions.

· Some of the assignments should be practical rather than theoretical.

· There wasn't that in person teacher contact daily.

· Nothing, this is the second time I've taken this class. The first time was all in class. I made an 'F'. But this time with the class completely online, I've made all A's and higher. With class online you depend on yourself to learn the information not someone standing in front of you.

· that i forgot about stuff being due at times

· nothing really.

· nothing at all. it was perfectly suited to my schedule and allowed me to do my work at my pace

· nothing

· its harder to teach yourself

· I did not dislike anything about this course.

· Nothing.

· I didn't have any dislikes.

· Extremely poor instruction. The material is straight forward and easy to comprehend. However, the class structure was technologically dense and sloppy. For example, having to access the 'daily notes,' daily by downloading an updated word doc, when web CT has an announcements function, showed a lack of effort to act on the subject matter taught int he course; the use of technology. The web cast are lacking, superficial and unrepresentative of the ridged excessive nature of the tests. CISM 3330 with Douglas Turner is quite simply the worst class I have taken at UWG.

· I don't think that it is good use of money to be forced to take a class that requires the student to make a YouTube video as part of the coursework. I could see a course like being offered as an elective, but I am frustrated that my limited funds had to be used for this course (mostly just that assignment) when it could have gone towards something more pertinent in the business field.

· testing in-class

· Dr.*** needs to update his videos. It is wrong for his videos referring to websites are not up-to-date. As a student, to turn in a project that is not current is unacceptable. This same principle should be applied to professors as well. With some of the Course Den material not current all it did was take away from the main benefit of an online course, becuase it made you go into his office (I commute 60 miles round trip) for clarification.

· The tests are very difficult

· No face to face contact with the instructor for help.

· Meaning the deadlines can be overwelming if you dont keep on top of things

· Using the workbooks

· Sometimes face to face instructor conversation is needed. That was my only concern.

· nothing

· little time for exams

· nothing

· The way the dates were discussed. The dates should be listed in the syllabus.

· nothing really

· It was easy to forget about completeting an assignment. At the beginning of this course I completed all of my assignments at least a week or even two weeks before they were due and it allowed me to go back and make corrections if i needed to do so to get a perfect score. Towards the end I was submitting the assignments the day before they were due which really made me focus harder on making everything absolutely correct to get a perfect score. But it was a learning experience taking this online class.

· nothing

· hard to get questions answered

· nothing

· All of the information is not available when needed. Instructions are not clear.

· nothing

· I disliked the fact that I could not get any extra credit

· It did not have enough problems to work through.

· nothing

· it was hard to self help in this class.

· This course entailed quite a bit of information which I feel needs to be taught some face to face. The book and likns were very confusing. There was a LOT of material and formulas that needed to be learned and there are always simpliar ways to learn these. The online book and links did not clarify how to work the problems. YOu just were given the anwers to check yours and not any steps to follow so it was very hard to try to figure out where you were going wrong.

· i need more instruction than a video

· Gradeing

· no teacher teaching me while i was doing the work

· I didn't have any dislikes.

· little to no communication, no instructor involvement online - just book resources

· It wasn't the course but the nature of self study on new subject matter. The initial learning curve and understanding takes a few times reviewing the material. Then the professor brings it all together with understanding and clarity.

· N/A

· Some stuff was not extremely clear

· instructor was not clear about material

· At times, it can be difficult to 'teach' yourself. The instructor was Extremely helpful but sometimes it is hard to know what to ask, or how to phrase a question when it is typed verses asked in person.

· its hard

· I disliked my teacher he was unfair in grading and barely taught the class. The stuff that he went over in class did not help the students to understand the homework and he graded the homework hard and did not give partial credit for showing how you got to that answer and he only used excel to teach the class but on the exams you could not use excel to get the answer so you were in trouble.

· N/A

· nothing

· I had to rememeber when a session was ongoing or an assignment was due.

· nothing

· No Comment.

· Overall, it was a positive experience.

· I miss the personal communication.

· nothing

· It would be helpful to have PPT's and materials for class seminars available for downloading a few days prior to the actual class.

· There were a few times that I could not access information that I needed from my home computer. I was only able to access from work (through a different program) after clicking around to find things.

· Up until now, the majority of my post secondary work has been done fact-to-face. That is what I am most comfortable with.

· Due to system or other issues, we seemed to stop using CourseDen very much for a few months. The resource should be used continuously throughout the program.

· Initially, figuring our how to submit assisgnments and navigate those requirements. But it got easier once our professor explained the process.

· None

· The numerous times that I was unable to log on due to technical issues going on at the UWG campus.

· webct was new to and a little cofusing at first but after a few weeks it worked out fine.

· Nothing

· nothing

· nothing

· The feedback

· At times, it was frustrating to access the UWG due to server issues.

· Access to the UWG courses and services were confusing. There are too many different places to have to go for obtaining what is needed. At one point I had three different places I had to remember how to access in regard to the courses in this program (CourseDen, UWG website, BanWeb).

· securing meeting facility

· The material was difficult.

· nothing

· Nothing.

· needs a few more face to face sessions.

· Not being able to meet with the teacher weekly.

· nothing

· EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will receive an A with a very high average, but I learned almost nothing. Reading and writing is a HORRIBLE way to retain information. Face-to-face are irreplaceable. NO QUALITY EDUCATION ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

· Nothing.

· There were mistakes made about my grades.

· Nothing

· There was a lack of timely feedback.

· I really cannot think about anything I didn't like.

· having to wait on feedback from the professor

· There was too much work to do and have a full time teaching job.

· Everything was appropriate and valuable.

· Nothing

· I didn't really learn much. I learn better by being in class and interacting face to face with my professor.

· Nothing, this was a good on-line course

· navigation

· nothing

· I don't like that the entire class was online. I feel that I learn better when someone is physically talking to me. It is too easy to use another window to find answers for quizzes and tests - which does not force you to truly learn the material. I know you should take it upon yourself to learn it, but with all the other classes demanding the same, having a way to 'shortcut' the work becomes convenient at the time, but not beneficial in the long run. I don't think anything can replace face-to-face classes.

· I just really like to be in a classroom I guess.

· Nothing really.

· nothing

· Nothing.

· Nothing

· nothing

· I had no major dislikes about this course.

· went to face-to-face class

· The lecture material was very boring and I found it hard to learn from it.

· nothing

· The course den page while doing my tests online would just disspaper all of a sudden due to some connection problems and I could not do the online tests at home.I had to go to the library on a daily basis to complete my assigments.

· nothing

· N/A

· it was hard

· nothing

· nothing

· I cant think of anything

· nothing

· None.

· Some of the questions on the quizes and assignments required floating point calculation, but we had not agreed on a standard method for handling significant digits and roundoffs. So answers submitted in floating point format were sometimes counted wrong incorrectly. I suggest multiple choice answers -- this doesn't have to make the question too easy. Also, some answers that were counted wrong were actually right. So, my biggest complaint would be with the automatic grading.

· nothing

· Everything

· There was not anything I really disliked.

· Professor graded assignment very difficult but provided no direction in this course.

· nothing

· I liked everything.

· I wish that this course had been offered in a physical classroom setting because getting assistance would have been easier.

· nothing

· It seemed that the assignments often repeated themselves and students were asked to the same or similar tasks throughout the semester. Posts to the discussion board were sometimes left unanswered.

· The assignments take longer than other classes because they are your main grade.

· N/A

· I do not like the length of time it takes to get feed back or not having a scheduled meeting time.

· none

· I dont have any dislikes.

· The time frame

· Teacher took a bit longer than expected for returning grades for assignments submitted.

· It was very difficult to get in touch with the teacher. I emailed her several times and I never once received a reply. I had another class during her office hours so the only way for me to contact her was through email. Assignments were posted late and I was unsure of what was expected.I have had online classes before and this is the worst experience I have ever had. If the teacher was going to past assignments late than an email letting the class know would have been appreciated. I too was dealing with issues this semester but I was still able to get online and check for homework that was never posted. I was extremely frustrated with this class. Also I do not feel that grades were received in a timely manner.

· Grades were to slow getting back to us!

· EVERYTHING! My teacher did not put assignments up in a timely manner. If we had questions she was not in her office to access her. I emailed my teacher several times and she never responded. Not enough information was provided for assignments. I learned nothing. And I struggled the whole time I did this. course.

· There were a lot of videos that were extremely long that didn't have much to do with the content of what we were learning. A lot of the websites and videos, I felt were unrelated to the topic.

· The fact that my teacher did not respond to any of my emails and did not post any of my grades or assignments for over a month! I also did not even use the book she had on the syllabus!

· Not knowing who I was in class with to put a face to a name.

· The teacher!!!!!

· It seemed like towards the middle of the semester Dr. **** stopped posting assignments and contacting us concerning what was going on. For weeks, we had no clue if she was alright or what was happening with the course. I found this to be very irresposible. Also, it seemed that when she did re-establish communication with us (with about 3 weeks left in the semester) there were many assignments posted that expected us to catch up with the weeks that were missed.

· links

· The amount of work and time given to complete the assignment.

· Teacher not availible

· The teacher did not keep grades updated in a timely manner. Also, although I did not mind, there were about 4 to 5 weeks that there were no assignments, no correspondence. I understand that life happens, and we all go through different things in our lives. I think the teacher could have responded and kept us informed about what was happening.

· I was not able to talk to other stuendes fact to face, but the advantages of online courses are great.

· This should not be called a course but an execution of busy work to receive college credit. There was nothing I needed from this course and nothing I couldn't of didn't figure out without assistance from the instuctor. Instuctor was missing for three weeks without known reason students were concernec and I personally called many numbers in the department without answer. No I did not leave a message. This is the most unprofessional manner course I have been involved in. The fact that you charge extra for an online course that provide significantly less value than a regular couse compounds my frustration. This is one course that I feel has been completely useless and the University has actually taken my money and provided nothing of value in return.

· I didn't like the fact that if I was completing work at night and had a question, I had to wait until someone else was online to ask for help.

· I would have prefered some sort of e-mail notices about changes or some sort of e-mail warning when a task is due. In a face-to-face class there is often a warning, at least a week before, that something is due.

· I could procrastinate longer.

· Slow teacher help and slow grading.

· The instructor. She never returns emails, piled on a ton of assignments after going MIA for six weeks, and doesn't give thorough explanations toward any of the assignments. I am very very very displeased with this course, not the material so much, but the instructor should be fired. If I miss six weeks of work and didn't tell anyone anything I know I would get fired.

· the work can be time consuming

· I disliked that the professor wasn't available when I needed help with assignments. I disliked that several emails that I sent her never received a response.

· The instructor never returned emails and offered very little help.

· The teacher was not very helpful, for an online course.

· I did not like the fact that e-mails were not answered and grades were not given when we needed feed back from the last assignment to do the next assignment appropriately. i also did not like the lack of communication from teacher ot students when it was needed.

· N/A

· I did not dislike anything about this course.

· There was more work than there should be for a 2 credit course. I spent more hours on this class than all of the classes I have taken, with the exception of 1. I believe the course work was designed on a student that had knowledge in the areas, not students that were learning.

· The hardest part for me was learning all the new information

· there was nothing that I disliked.

· I did not like when the system would go down every other Friday and I would have work due.

· My likes and dislikes overlap here. Though I liked the fact that I didn't have to drive all the way to Carrollton each week, I think I am someone who benefits more from a face-to-face class session. Therefore, not having that face-to-face interaction is something I disliked about the course.

· I liked it all

· Nothing!

· None

· I liked the course and would not change anything.

· THere was alot of work with 2 other classes. Some of the links did not work.

· That a lot of the programs were not functioning correctly. Also, the instructor was difficult to get in contact with when difficulties did occur. The program that was half our grade was out of date. Trying to take what we learned and applying to updated software was a challenge.

· Not enough instruction on assignments, espcially the important ones.

· Nothing

· Technical issues

· TECHNICAL PROBLEMS! TECHNICAL PROBLEMS! TECHNICAL PROBLEMS! This kind of course shouldnt be an online course, I dont think the problems technically were anticipated. It is very frustrating when you have problems technically and it's by no fault of your own and its almost impossible to resolve them, so in an effort to attempt not to get behind you mosey on and try and come back but you still experience the same problem. Although the instructor handled many of the problem, UWG technical assistance were hard to connect with. I would never take this type of course online again.

· It's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer abstractness of an online class.

· I think this class needs to meet face to face more than 2 times.

· SAM was annoying at first, but once you get the hang of it, it gets better.

· I like face-to-face interaction as well as doing some work online.I like the class to be half online and half face-to-face. I think this interaction is the best for me. I don't like that I feel like I'm teaching myself while taking this online class opposed to the professor being involved more in my learning.

· Sometimes it was frustrating that other students didn't seem to participate fully or in a timely manner to discussions. I also think that one of the things I've realized that face to face interactions fosters is networking in your future field, which is difficult to do in an online learning environment.

· When I wanted immediate answers to my questions.

· Sam was boring.

· nothing

· There was absolutely too much work and too many assignments. The SAM quizzes were too long and there were too many.

· I enjoy people, no face to face.

· I dislike the fact that you cannot always get intouch with the professor.

· N/A

· Not getting face-to-face time with other students and teachers.

· The material was very confusing at times and it would have been very helpful to have more face-to-face meetings.

· When I had questions it was difficult to get them answered. At times I felt bogged down by problems I was having in the course.

· Nothing. I was able to get what I needed, when I needed it.

· I didn't find a dislike for this course.

· Too many different places to look for assignments...I would get confused or miss somethings. Too many discussion board submissions.

· I did not like the pressure of meeting F2F. There can be situations where you may not be able to attend and yet it is insisted you must make the F2F classes or lose grades. Some of the directions for assignments were confusing because they were in different places and at times had different due dates. Not all assignments were posted on the calendar. If you did not check the class handout you would not know that some assignments were due. Also there are too many forms to fill out for the field experience which makes it confusing. I also found the course load to be extremely heavy. Many of my friends in the class found it hard to keep up with the work as I did as well.

· Difficulty at times regarding communication with group members.

· NA

· Liked webcam and wimba communication tool, however, felt that the webcam meetings the professor conducted were not valuable. The introduction to wimba was interesting, but I felt that information from these sessions had already been addressed on the discussion board or email. Felt these webcam meetings were not conducted efficiently.

· The instructor was very difficult to communicate with online. She was very vague in her reasons about why points were taken off assignments. Also, I once submmitted a question to her about an assignment two days before it was due. However, she did not respond to my question until the day after the assignment was due. I feel that if a student makes an attempt to ask questions about an assignment, those questions need to be answered before the assignment is due. I also feel that if points are taken off an assignment, the students needs to receive specific reasons about why points are taken away, especially if the student e-mails the teacher asking why. The instructor of this course is not very 'user friendly.' Her comments still leave students with questions, and I feel that she did not give timely feedback. Most of the assignments I turned in were not graded for over one month after they were submitted.

· nothing

· Not seeing the teacher

· Confusion as to the syllabus vs the calendar vs the assignments dates & deadlines.

· I did not like the lack of face to face time - it seems a little inpersonal.

· Nothing

· There was very little student-student or student-professor interaction. Boring!!

· The organization of the course was not clear.

· waiting for feedback

· It was sometimes difficult to get an immediate response to questions or discussions with group members or instructors.

· The group assignment....delay of responses from group members.

· Nothing

· Being that I live 3 1/2 hours south of Carrollton, I didn't like having to travel and participate in 3 face-to-face sessions during the work week.

· Nothing..all was good.

· No dislikes--everything was fabulous!

· nothing.

· Waiting for responses

· not enough face to face discussion opportunity

· The cost. The price of all of these fees for services that we don't use (transportation fee, activity fees, stadium fees, international fees, etc...) will drive students to take fewer classes, or change schools, altogether.

· lack of student interaction

· Turning in assignments and the system won't let me.

· Nothing - have been happy with West Georgia online classes.

· NA

· nothing

· I did not dislike any portion of the course.

· It is sometimes difficult to get questions answered. When classmates answer questions it is unclear if the answer is correct because there is no feedback from the professor.

· Very vague in assignment task.

· No issues

· NA

· Come to campus

· Nothing.

· The grades coming back to us.

· I have found in all of my University of West Ga. classes that professors organize information on Course Den differently. That is fine and reflects the individuality of the professor and subject matter; however, sometimes information is not clearly organized. For example, in Dr. ***** course, I would first go to the directions to complete assignment. Then later I would find that slightly different directions would be on the assignment dropbox. Then I found a folder for rubrics, and the rubric would have more or different information about the task. It would be helpful if all information available about one assignment would be in one place.

· I did not like the pressure of having to meet F2F. There could be situations that come up where you cannot make it and yet it is insisted that you attend or you lose grades. There are too many field experience forms. It makes it confusing. Also I have had several discussions with other classmates and we found the work load too heavy. Many of us work full time and have children and we found it difficult to keep up with the weekly assignments that were due. Also there are too many places to check for instructions and what's due that at times some of the information was different.

· I felt like I had to check and double check the syllabus to make sure I was completing all the assignments. Information was listed in several locations and I got due dates confused

· When I submit a discussion post, the icon shows that something is new, but there is, in fact, nothing new.

· How I had to search one area for the rubric, another area for assignment descriptions, and another area for further descriptions. Too many resources in different places.

· When I had a question about something & posted a question it would take several days for me to get a response (sometimes I would not get a response at all).

· Nothing

· Nothing

· N/A

· I miss the personal interactions.

· Nothing.

· I find it very frustrating to complete group work assignments via online means.

· Sometimes I need more face to face instructions and examples of projects.

· Having to upload to the server. It took more than 3 hours!

· Lack of communication among group members

· none

· nothing

· no peer discussions over coffee

· This survey. This survey is redundant. It is exactly the same as the survey I have taken for my other two courses this semester. Can't WestGa fix this! Repeating the same 'Distance Education Survey' repeatedly is a waste of my valuable time.

· Not having routine face-to-face with instructor, although Dr. *** made up for this shortcoming with her online videos. She also offered an open chat each week. Some professors don't do that.

· Sometimes email is a SLOW way to get feedback.

· I don't have any complaints.

· Nothing, this course lends itself well to distance learning.

· disliked nothing, it was all good

· Getting questions answered was sometimes difficult.

· Nothing

· Not enough commumication with professors

· I feel the first couple of weeks of every on-line class is difficult because there is not a standard way for professors to set up their web pages. I always feel that I may turn in an assignment late these first two weeks just b/c I didn't know the assignment existed.

· Difficult group participation

· Distance between teacher and student.

· That I had to drive to campus 3 times per class

· nothing

· The only thing that I disliked about this course is the amount of time it took the professors to grade the assignments. I have one assignment I turned in in September and it is still not graded.

· I like everything about the online portion of the course!

· the digital media project

· Projects count as our classroom participation and therefore the amount of work can sometimes be overwhelming.

· none.

· No dislikes--everything was excellent!

· waiting on responses

· The professors were never available to respond to questions or emails. Grades were not posted by professors; some grades from months ago have still not been posted.

· nothing

· Online group work can be challenging.

· Internet service can go down sometimes.

· The face to face classes defeat the whole purpose of distance learning. I have to drive six hours (after working eight) to attend class. I take two classes and they each have three face to face classes. That is six times that I have to drive to class--36 hours of driving. The technology is available to bring the live class to the student...why not give students that choice.

· I do not like working with other people on a group project. It is difficult to get everybody to work at the same pace. There are some people that rarely get on the computer so you may not hear from a group member for days. I like sharing a work load but I do not have the time nor the energy to deal with people not responding in a reasonable manner.

· Nothing. I wish it was 100% online.

· This has been an excellent experience; there was nothing I disliked.

· That I had to drive to campus 6 times

· Nothing--no complaints or problems with this course.

· nothing

· Don't like my UWG email.

· nothing

· online group work can be challenging

· Not enough face-to-face instruction

· Internet service was down sometimes.

· The face-to-face classes could be done away with.

· I liked all portions of this course.

· This course ended up with 2 professors splitting the duties which made it a little more difficult than normal to know who to contact, etc. Their styles are also very different which again made things less than seamless at times.

· Very little interaction from students and instructors.

· nothing

· None really - don't like that it shows that something is new when there is nothing new.

· Nothing. It was another wonderful semester online at UWG.

· I would have liked more work sessions with my group, face-to-face. It was easier to get responses and feedback on projects from them when talking to them than trying to discuss things online, i.e., the conversations flowed more easily in person.

· I do wish that the portion of group work was not so viable. It is very hard to work with a group from a distance.

· Nothing

· It was sometimes difficult to get a quick response to a question or discussion from group members or instructors.

· I miss the interaction between my fellow classmates and instructor.

· Felt somewhat alone and disconnected.

· Deadlines were a little to close together. The purpose I applied for online courses were because of my busy schedule. When the deadlines for work were too close together for assignments it became a race for sanity.

· There is nothing that I did not like.

· nothing

· no complaints

· N/A

· 1. Teacher combined sections preventing students from collaborating in Course Den. 2. Teacher had students divide time betwwen 2 blogs, Course Den and Google Docs. 3. Primary means of group collaboration was required to be Google Docs. 4. Unable to communicate with group members through Course Den.

· The structure and format of CourseDen.

· n/a

· I miss the interaction between my classmates and professor. I also felt as though a lot of the work associated with online learning is busy work and did not contribute to my understanding of the material.

· There was a lot of busy work that didn't seem to serve a purpose.

· I was happy with the online portion.

· nothing

· The instructor of this course seemed out of touch with the reality of his students lives. Much of the work assigned seemed to by busy work and not very meaningful for the overall knowledge acquisition. One example would be that within a weeks time we would have to read three articles and a chapter from the text. Then we were given from Monday to Thursday to post our discussions and make 3 to 5 responses to other peoples posts for each reading. This is 12 to 20 responses. Most of the people that I got to know through the course were teachers and parents. Our weekday lives are extremely busy and not allowing us to get this done through the weekend shows a lack of understanding of our lives. In addition 12 to 20 responses in addition to the 4 posts was excessive and unnecessary. Instead of reading others posts and creating a meaningful and helpful response everyone was glancing at posts and making a quick comment. These things were brought to the instructors attention but unanswered.

· I felt that we were given very short deadlines on discussions, etc. Getting a discussion prompt late on Monday night for all readings and postings to be completed by Thursday is a little ridiculous. One of the benefits of an online course is flexibility, but I felt that this course didn't offer very much flexibility. It seemed that the professor had very little compassion for the lives that we lead outside of the classroom (both as teachers and learners) and assigned a lot of tedious work/discussions. I am taking two online courses right now, and this class definitely required far more work than my other one.

· I felt like the page could have been more user friendly. Information was posted in several different areas and not always consistent.

· nothing

· I disliked nothing about online courses.

· Sometimes written instructions were overridden by updates and verbal instructions ... with such an emphasis on following directions it was difficult when there were more than one set of directions.

· Everything related to Dr. ****. He is a joke. His instructions are in broken English. He is borish. He made this the most unpleasant experience I have had at UWG. I received my masters and Ed.S, through UWG. This is the first class I had with him. I am finished. I would never, I repeat never take another class with him. You need to correct this situation before he brings down the entire program. I now recommend this program to my friends with the caveat of NOT taking any course he teaches. He is not UWG material, IMO.

· No comment.

· I felt as if I were repeating myself over and over again for this course.

· The structure and format of CourseDen.

· #NAME?

· I didn't think the layout was very organized...there were things 'hiding' everywhere.

· Assignments for the semester should be open to complete for the complete term. There were several situations where we were expected to complete assignments within 4 days because of when they were posted.

· There were times when learning the software would have been much easier if I would have been in front of the teacher who would show it to me. I felt that in my aspects I had to teach myself this technology. In the end, I did learn it. I wonder how much quicker I would have learned this with assistance though.

· when I have a problem it is sometimes hard to get in touch with the instructor via email.

· I feel this course was excellent, but over my head on some computer skills required.

· Technology issues are always bound to come up and this is always the issue with online learning. It can be very stressful at times.

· I love webct, but I do not like the moodle that Dr. ***uses.

· some of the tutorials need to be updated

· I thought this course was extremely well thought-out.

· Response from instructor was sometimes not as fast as in the past.

· Even with online discussion, I still feel a disconnect with online coures. This is definitely a personal issue and not a problem with online classes in general.

· waiting for feedback and grades

· waiting for feedback and grades

· Nothing, everything went well in the course.

· This course needs to have some face to face classes. The content is too difficult and needs to be explained. Even though our professor made attempts to have phone calls, the content was not discussed.

· Nothing.

· Not a lot of collaboration. Unorganized at times.

· I miss the personal interaction of the students in the classroom.

· I did not like much about this course, period. I especially did not enjoy the instructor. She was very erractic and most confusing throughout the course. Totally unorganized and disconnected at times. This was probably my worst experience with any course at the higher education level.

· We did almost everything on line, thus the MANY times we had to come to class were pointless. We only had 2 class meetings that were meaningful. The rest was fluff. We read on our own, discussed on our own (online), and did the work on our own with few and sometimes no examples.

· Not having anyone to talk to about questions I had, not knowing for sure if my assignments made it to the prof.

· teacher didn't respond to questions regarding assignments in a timely manner. needed to update her syllabus and modules before this class began.

· I did not like the deadlines for posting to bulletin board and the fact that directions for assignments were located in different places.

· none

· I CANNOT stand not meeting face to face for class, and unfortunately this course is only offered online. This class is for educators who are people-persons by nature. It never seemed natural to require in-depth discussions of ideas on a bulletin board posting; there is always a certain amount of ambiguity. Unfortunately, I have not been stimulated at all by this course. Additionally, this class should not be required for people who received their Bachelors in Middle Grades Ed. from UWG because this has been a complete repeat of several classes I took while in Block. I also dislike the fact that I did not get to know my professor or any of my classmates. It is impossible to forge relationships in an online class, at least in the manner this one was conducted. I thought grad classes were the chance to really develop closeness with professors and other professionals. I have not had that opportunity. I really thought I would have gotten more out of this course, but I was wrong.

· I personally like face to face interaction so it was more difficult for me to get used to online discussions.

· I did not like that we could not access our exams to see what we did wrong. I like to know what I have missed in case it comes up again.I cannot readily call the instructor as I am very busy at home and at work as well. Usually if I can see my tests/quizzes I can figure out what was wring so I won't do it again

· I didn't get to know the professor or the other students in the class.

· I have no real dislikes of this course.

· Could not take tests in advance even if you were ready for them you had to wait for them to open up.

· The time schedule for the exams.

· Testing time limited from 5p-10p on day of test

· Lack of instant feedback on the questions missed. Just knowing the number missed did not help me. The professor could be emailed regarding the missed questions, but this was inconvenient.

· Online classes can be impersonal and the classes are self taught.

· I did not dislike any portion of this course.

· You have to do alot of reading

· that the deadlines sometimes crept up on me but since i got the uwg student planner things have been great!!!

· No additional instructional help, videos, homework, or quizzes.

· The test were ridisulous in length and scope. There were problems with viewing some questions, and some questions were missing information. Lankford stated at the orientation 'the tests come from a test bank of questions' He has no idea what the questions are, and I ran out of time to finish the tests which required many calculations. I tutor math and have no problem with calculations, but there was no way possible to complete the tests (accurately) in the amount of time given.

· nome

· The information online didn't help with the test.

· nothing

· Finding the right time to meet with my group members.

· Quizes are very challenging.

· Loved it all.

· I didn't like that my teacher required in person interaction with my team. It was really hard to make our schedule's meld to get-togethers.

· The tests were really long

· I didn't get the chance to know the professor or the other students.

· Nothing

· webct updates

· When i try takling online tests/exams the ocurse den page or the test page would jus go off.Hence, I had to take almost all tests and exams in the Library.

· I was unable to get to know the professor and the other students.

· Most of the time Dr. **** did not explain the assignments well so we wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what we were to do. And after the first few weeks he did not answer emails or answer us on the discussion board any more. Most of the examples he gave did not work. Links to sites did not work. Dr.*** did not give any help after the first few weeks on assignments. It was like he gave up on the class at that point. This was the worst online class that I have taken as far as knowing what I was to do and how to do it. Most of the time I did not get a clear idea of what he was looking for and if you did not do it as he expected he gave you a low grade for it. He gave us extra credit assignments without giving credit for it or acknowledging that we even did it. This class lacked a lot of organization.

· Making the songs in Jam Studio was impossible to do. This was above an intro level class.

· nothing

· Some parts of the course were hard to complete because I was not knowledgable about certain technology that was used.

· that you were only given 1 time to do certain homework assignments

· There were a few things that I did not quite understand how to do online and they ere not explained very well.

· a lot of information at one time, and a lot to take in.

· It was difficult not being able to talk to your professor directly when you had a question.

· This class did not operate completely on Courseden. The teacher required us to open an account with Whistling Whale(WW). Assignments had to be submitted in both Courseden and WW. There were several times multiple assignments were to be submitted in Courseden under one submission, this was not made clear until after the posting was made, then it was closed and the rest of the assignments could not be posted. Understanding exactly what the instructor wanted from the assignments was difficult at times and it took a while for the instructor to email back with answers to questions. There were also many downloads required, this is Music Apprec. and we were required to make songs and do things that were difficult with no musical background.

· having to remember to complete the assignments

· I disliked nothing.

· Too many confusing web pages.

· to many websites being used

· High technical level

· The technical difficulties made this course fustrating at times. Ex: When quicktime stopped working. When learning to use different programs took a very long time.

· It was very easy to forget about upcoming assignments and check e-mail on a daily basis.

· I thought there were too many programs and glitches that could occur. You spend a good amount of yout time on learning a program you only use once.

· I prefer face to face class time

· If one has to be online at the same time as class, then they might as well go to class. If there is flexibility in timing, then there is added convenience

· There was a lot of disorganization and confusion.

· Chat rooms are not conducive to class meetings. Too many distractions and it was not a learning experience for me

· Having to be online at the exact time of the actual class for the same duration of the actual class. It decreased the experience of 'on-line' and the flexibility that is suppose to present.

· I liked the online portion of the class.

· Nothing

· Maybe we do not get information on general housekeeping chores for the college, such as graduation and registration information?

· It needs to made more clear where exactly to find things on webct

· Too much of this 50% on line class was on line. More like 75%.

· The difficulty of navagating course den. There are too many 'places' for instructers to put information.

· a wee bit disorganized

· Unable to have the teacher explain something to you when you do not understand the materia

· Too many assignments. It is time consuming compared to traditional classroom setting. I was not given any education or orientation to on-line classes. I felt lost at the begginning of the semester. I thought I have to sit behind the computer during class hours on days we have on-line classes. It took me months to realized what was expected of me. VERY FRUSTRATING. SOME OF MY GRADES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THIS.

· This semester this class used Wimba. I was not especially a fan of this type of online learning because it inhibited my ability to do my coursework on my own available time. Something that was a major plus for taking courses on-line.

· There was nothing I disliked about the online portion of this course. However, the items that we covered in the sessions in which we met in person could have easily been done online as well. I'm not sure why the course was not 100% online.

· She did not give us enough of a time slot to take online tests. She would only give us 24 hours and with so much going on, it was hard to make it in that time slot. I would suggest 48 hours.

· The problems I had with the computer not allowing me to view certain components of the course and having problems uploading my material to the teacher.

· The difficulty in understanding What is expected.

· It was a lot of unneccessary.

· I thought the discussion board was pointless. I could understand maybe writing your own response to the discussion, but I don't think we should of had to comment on two other peoples. We were basically saying the same thing for all three of them.

· I did not like being able to see my professor, but i guess I could have went to her office.

· Nothing

· I didn't necessarily like not being able to get in touch with the professor as quickly as I wanted. She told us to send questions to her other email with 'HELP' in the header line which worked for the most part, but I didn't get as much feedback as quickly as I would have liked.

· The interaction with fellow students.

· It is somewhat difficult getting to know your professor personality.

· There is some benefit to being in a room with the teacher and other class members in that you can hear their opinions and input.

· This course probably should not have been taught in a 100% online format. I do not believe that having this course online has benefited my knowledge and skills related to my program of study. I think it would have been more beneficial as a face-to-face course or a course that met more throughout the semester.

· nothing yet.

· Its harder for me to focus.

· the way discussions are done in a blog like format

· I did not like the delay in feedback. The professor gave feedback within the time constraints she provided, but sometimes I needed more immediate feedback. It's the nature of online courses though. Sometimes my computer wouldn't show the assignments so I had to wait for response.

· I sometimes forgot to do the assignments.

· No complaints.

· this particular class is one on the first classes that need to be taken for my program and offer a lot of information that was difficult to learn all on line. The class would work well to actually go to classes on campus.

· It was frustrating in the beginning. I sometimes would find that I missed a piece of the assignment when I thought I was finished but I managed to always realize this in just enough time to meet my due date. This taught me to look through all of my materials very carefully with the thought in mind that there may be a question worth additional points towards my final grade!

· Not interacting with and learning from other students in my field.

· Lack of teacher interaction-confusion about assignments, etc

· EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will receive an A with a very high average, but I learned almost nothing. Reading and writing is a HORRIBLE way to retain information. Face-to-face lectures are irreplaceable. NO QUALITY EDUCATION ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

· I have said this several times, but it is very hard to contribute to 2 classmates' discussion posts (as we're always required to do) when the information the classmate posted was factual. Discussions happen when there is room to discuss theories and opinions...not facts. Questions such as 'what is' and 'what are' do not lead to easy discussion.

· I believe the Professor and remove email that she sent to you and vice-verse. And I don't appreciate that, I also know that the professor hides behind via and online chat.That's is not very professional.

· There were no reference texts to read or refer to. Quizes based solely notes from class and notes online. Instructor was totally infexible and made light of system problems or giving of unclear instructions

· N/A

· Seems to be more work required online (number of postings)than would be expected in face to face classes.

· I learn better with some face to face instruction.

· Lots to do when you are teaching full time.

· It was a little confusing at times. Although I love having mroe classes online, I would like to at least meet face to face 2-3/semester

· delay in response

· Course den was somewhat confusing to me initially, because this was my first experience with any type of online class. I was also unsure of my ability to be disciplined enough to actuallly allocate substantial to my course work from my home. But, over time I became more comfortable using course den and liked the flexibility.

· Sometimes assignments were difficult to understand.

· none noted

· Initially, I did not understand how to navigate my way through the webct. It was a trail and error process. However, after becoming familiar with the site, I began to enjoy the convenience of studying and submitting assignments from home. I still prefer the traditional, face-to-face instructional model. It allows for more genuine discussion, immediate feedback.

· Non-personal contact. There was not a great way to interact w/ other classmates (other than emails). This made it a little difficult to do 'group' work.

· Grades were not always available

· Unable to ask live questions (having to wait for answers via email)

· delay in response

· not seeing other students and speaking with them

· response to questions grading assignments

· The class itself was difficult for me, therefore I probably needed to have more face to face meetings.

· first time back to class since finishing masters degree...dud not have course den in 2000. I was unsure how to navigate course den, but after a couple of weeks, I became more at ease.

· Instructor not always available to answer questions, and did not answer them thoroughly.

· POOR communication on behalf of the professor. She did not answer emails efficiently. The syllabus was a disaster- it was never correct through out the entire semester. How are students supposed to be effective and learn if there are no clear instrucions or guidelines? How are the students supposed to know what to do if the professor doesn't know what she's doing?
