• nothing
• Some of the webpage links would not come up and I had to guess on those answers on the quizzes.
• nothing
• NOTHING
• I enjoyed all of it.....But it is very easy to procrastinate....Just need responcibility.
• If you know what you are doing  but you do not pay attention to the smallest details of the exercises  you might click something correctly but have it counted against your score.
• There wasn't anything that I disliked about the course  but the cost of the book was staggering.
• the chat rooms.  well only because you have to wait and then you could loose the train of thought
• Nothing.
• I did not like when webct was not working properly.  For instance  once Dr. Putney had sent me some private mail and I couldn't open it because it said "Error on this page."  I was frustrated because I wanted to read Dr. Putney's response to a question I had.  I ended up having to resort to my regular email to communicate with her.
• nothing
• Difficulty of getting book required for class.
• Nothing
• There is nothing I dislike about online courses.
• nothing

• Nothing.
• I have no dislike.
• Dr. Putney was so good about responding and posting our grades  I didn't feel like I missed out on anything!

• Computer glitches.
• Nothing
• Nothing
• I missed the interaction with the other teachers.
• I didn't dislike any aspect of the online portion of this class.
• Hearing and discussing the real life experience.
• Our professor asked us to read all the postings from all of our class members and it was too much to keep up with.
• At times it was a bit confusing.. things were posted that weren't supposed to be and things that weren't up there needed to be
• A fear of being lost on the computer  however  this instructor was very supportive with decreasing my anxiety.
• Nothing
• Getting answers to questions depended on who read the questions and when.  No immediate answers.  I liked the classes where on-line times were assigned so that you knew answers would be available quicker.
• Not understanding what a WebCt course was going to be like.
• nothing
• Not having access to the professor as much as I would have liked.
• No problems with online itself. I did not like the way the instructor structured this particular class  because while cooperative learning can be good for some assignments  having all assignments be group projects made it hard because we had little face-t-face time.
• Because of the number of students responding to discussions  it gets a little overwhelming to read over 500 entries.
• Sometimes I felt like I had nothing to say  but knew I was graded on number of responses I made to the discussion board.
• I don't have face to face communication with peers  professor.
• I feel that I would have gotten more from the class had I been in the classroom.
• I did not like the lack of feedback of exams.
• I liked the course
• I'm not sure if I learned as well having to teach myself.  I feel I missed some of the value of hearing and seeing an actual lecture.
• Pace was too fast.  I think every other day would be better than every day for three weeks straight.
• Every comment I made seemed so formal.  There was little comfort in asking questions or commenting on topics casually.

• The course is so fast-paced ... there was little time for reflection. But I am also taking two other courses.
• can't think of anything
• nothing
• nothing
• I like to have a personal relationship with the people in class and the professor.
• nothing..it was great
• I had to check my mail several times a day to make sure that I could keep up.  If I missed a day I was way behind
• There wasn't anything that I disliked.
• I wouldn't say disliked  but there was a lot of work and it was kind of a conflict with my work schedule.  Also  the library closed too early during the week and I had to either leave work early or miss work in order to do my assignments.
• I can't think of anything at present.
• I didn't get to know any of my classmates.
• nothing
• I disliked not being able to hear the teacher give the lectures.

• Undecided.
• Most of the material was very time consuming and frustrating at times.
• Not having face to face communication with the teacher in case of an important question.
• sometimes computers make mistakes
• It is very impersonal. Also once you got into webct and got your questions you had to keep getting out to answer them.There were also some problems with it scrambling information during transmittal.
• SOme of the assignments did not give enough information to complete the worksheets. The directions that were given for some of the worksheets and assignments were also confusing for some.

• when my computer was having problems I couldn't complete the assignments
• some websites were difficult to access because one needed a password from the library (netlibrary)
• BEing unable to talk to my professor
• i loved everything about the course online
• I truly have no dislikes about the online course. However  having just an online course would not be something I would vote for simply because I also learn a lot from an in-class siting.
• Not having someone to ask questions to face to face. I did however spend a lot of the time at the college asking Ms. Ollendorf questions. SHe was very helpful.
• There is not as much interaction as there would be in a live classroom.
• nothing
• i dont have an internet line in my home  and the computor lab closes to early  and so does the library  that i had to struggle to meet the time schedules
• I did not have my dislikes just the fear of something in the technolgy going really wrong and lossing work.
• I did not know any of my classmates. I had to talk to my teacher  so I rather be in a class setting. It is easy to forget your deadlines.
• limited interaction with instructor.
• I did not like the grades i got on assignments and how the MLA handbook was not clear enough
• The chapter lessons did not go into enough detail.  This made it hard to score high on the quizes
• I very much appreciate conversation and discussion in person. Granted  this wasn't a class that was very discussion oriented but in other classes  I prefer to have conversations in person.
• That somethings were not explained in detail. You can end up assuming things that are not correct.
• I think that online course serve a purpose but they never replace the component of the interaction between and great teacher. Students are less likely to work hard to compile the necessary knowledge base. Online course may not work will for certain subjects.
• Lack of interaction.  I learn so much more from discussion and the opinions and questions of class mates.
• Webct acted up a lot and not const. many times.
• Not haveing papers to look at and having to remind myself to look at the syllabus and bulletin board.

• Working with a group.  Many of the members did not do their portion of the assignments.

• Nothing!
• Not applicable

• nothing
• none - except if the computer lines were down due to weather or something out of our control.
• The amount of work required.
• nothing
• Face to face contact  delay in responses.
• It doesn't work well with AOL. Someone needs to work on that. A lot of students I am pretty sure uses AOL as their internet service provider.
• Hard to work with others schedules. Having to check constantly for updates because there is no set time for them to come in.
• Absolutely nothing.
• not having lectures that i can listen to and take notes
• The group work
• Some students did not particpate.
• I hated the fact of having to depend on other people and never meeting them.
• getting the group to work on their parts
• Getting through groupos together was difficult
• nothing...
• Nothing  the class exeeded all of my expectations.
• waiting for e-mails
• Working in groups
• I disliked the group project given to complete strangers whose only communication is through the internet.  Individuals with different work ethics and only a peer evaluation to police them. If you take someone's "A" quality work and merge it with someone's quickly put together "D" quality work and individuals that submit no work. ``It was a situation that I truly detested.
• I don't really like group work in online courses.. it is confusing and hard to get everyone to participate... someone never carries their full load
• Not being able to get full explanation of assignments.
• The short time that we got due to summer
• Lack of communication
• It was rather impersonal  communicating with people you did not know. Even when we were in class we didn't really know each other. I would not reccommend online courses to anyone but those who are very mature and self directed learners.
• Not very  spontaneous
• nothing
• We really did not have all the bugs worked out in time to use it fully.
• nothing
• have to be organiized and self motivated
• the two on campus meetings
• Sometimes  it is harder to learn the new material online.
• No complaints at present
• I feel that this particular course should have been in a classroom setting.
• nothing- i have taken other online courses and they have lacked  but this class has given me hope!
• Would like to have met after reading the books
• All of it.  If I would have wanted an online course I would have signed up for one.
• Everything
• This class would have been more effective had there been more "live" classes. Since this was a class that brought about a lot of emotion  and was about a subject that most people know little about  I believe that the students would have been able to have more questions answered and attain a better understanding of the Holocaust and the issues surrounding it  if there were at least more live classes.
• there were too many emotions dealing with this subject for it to be online.
