I would suggest that the class in totally on-line and a price
adjustment

Vary the assignments. Don't
require nearly daily postings which defeats the flexibility aspect of the
course.

I've only had one course and the professor was tremendously
helpful and understanding. No
suggestions at this time.

Develop a case or set of critiques to build or flesh-out
sub-topics of importance in greater detail.

I would suggest that the class in totally on-line and a price

Some instructors think that they need to make students do a lot of
extra work (***I'm looking at you e-core***) just because they're not
actually coming to a class room. Just tell us what to read and give us the
test! It's almost like they want to punish you.

it is hard to keep up with due dates when working a full time job and taking

I would like to see more classes available online. I especially believe that some of the
Major courses for business could be handled online.

Have the directions clearer and easier to follow.

o
didn’t need the expensive
required purchase books
|
|
o
Keeping the locations of information that changes in a single
centralized area
|
|
o
Structure the on-line portions alternately with in-class
sessions. We spent too many days out
of the classroom in a row. Classes should either be all on-line or mostly
on-campus (no more than 2 or 3 sessions off campus).
|
|
o
More organization from the professor. I really do not think it is
a computer web ct issue
|
|
o
Keep it simple. ``Adhere to
the syllabus. ``Work out a system and keep to it throughout the
course. Planning is essential to
students; harem scarem additions and deletions makes online classes a pain.

To provide more assistance in fixing problems or glitches.
|
|
o
I don't really know
|
|
o
I would like to see guest speakers or instructors
"teach" by video.
|
|
o
Do not have them...it's a cheap (and I do not mean money-wise) way
of supposedly being educated. Unless
the students want to pay money to solely receive grades and be given a piece
of paper then online
"learning" will not be an effective option.
|
|
o
Have more varied assignments.
|
|
o
Online courses lead students to have impersonal relationships with
both their professors and their peers. Students are less likely to make genuine
and valuable connections with their professors and peers.
|
|
o
clear concise directions
for all assignments and the computer requirements for the course; sometimes
specific one-on-one directions are needed from the professor and the professor should be approachable
online
|
|
o
I think that UWG online courses are learner friendly. I would like
to see more master degree programs online.
With the price of gas increasing
I think that more students would appreciate the opportunity to take
online courses.
|
|
o
Make higher level courses available online to provide flexibility
for students.
|
|

Eh none really.

Obtaining a parking decal when we need to attend classes is
impossible unless we take a day off from work. Another way to obtain a

Mandatory once a month meeting for online class
|

Making sure the teacher accesses daily!

Offer more End’s. Level programs on line so more professionals may
attend reputable universities for advanced degrees. I would love to earn my
End’s. In Reading

research not just convenience.

I recommend an off- line archive (i.e. cdrom) of course materials
so that the internet is not 100% required. Also it is frustrating that the library
computers do not have applications (word
ppt etc).
|

I would like to see W Ga Univ have more online classes especially
for professionals who have limited time.

There is nothing that I can think of since the course is so well
planned and executed. The constant
reminders from the instructor and
willingness to help could not be more improved.
|

Stick to the syllabus posted from day one. It seems as if work continued to be added
throughout the course on top of the syllabus.
|
|
o
cut coursework
|
|
o
Professor provide examples of expected work to ensure students
understand expectations because there is a lack of face-to-face time.
|
|
o
Try not to put all the "big" assignment right together.
|
|
o
One to two short term group assignments MAX for online
courses. We are professionals and we
already get enough social interaction.
|
|
o
Schedule one more meeting between the second and third meetings to
allow more face to face interaction.
|
|
o
none
|
|
o
Have separate areas for questions instead of one. Dewey questions. Handbook questions. Sears questions. General questions
|
|

If the class is a 3 hour course then the work should not require
more than 3 hours to complete the work in a week’s time.

I like the arrangement of the on-line courses. However since travel time one way is 2 hrs. It

Keep them well organized
ease of finding materials and directions is very important. Feedback

|
|
o
More Saturday Classes
|
|
o
none
|
|
o
Assignments due dates should end at midnight on the due date and not before.
|
|
o
Do not overload every window. I often must open 6 or 8 sections in
order to stay up with the different class assignments
|
|
o
Offer the required textbook in print & audio forms together
(tape or CD). This would greatly
help for students when they are on the road for hours at a time. This would make the driving time seem
more profitable instead of taking that time away from studying.
|
|
o
Maybe 1 face to face instead of 3.
|
|
o
Fewer group projects per course.
|
|
o
More examples of work
|
|
o
Everything can be reached by clicking. No attaching. Instruct other students the same.
|
|
o
I don't have any.

Dr. O.P. Cooper provides explanations and examples of work through

of what they expect (due to lack of face to face time)the course will most
likely run smoothly.
|

Optional online chats weekly are a great resource and extremely

course content materials etc.
|

Offer all research classes Fall
Spring and summer because I cannot finish in summer because my last
research class is only offered in fall.

That all professors-like Dr. Goodman provide a detailed

assignments at the first class meeting.
|

o
The bulletin board is sometimes a bit hard to navigate for
me...not sure really why...
|
|
o
More instructor help
|
|
o
Bulletin boards should be organized by topics so certain posts can
go into certain categories. If all
posts for the semester are on the main board there end up being too many that are
unorganized and it's harder to find what you’re looking for.

Half class on line and half in class. Class discussion seems
better than reading on your own.

Limit online discussions to a minim.
|
|
o
No suggestions. The course does not need any improvement in my
opinion.
|
|
o
Less work
|
|
o
For the teacher to grade on the subject not crap.
|
|
o
Skim more for grading to see if the students get the jest of what
is going on in the class...therefore grading would be easier for professors
and quicker for students.
|
|
o
Will not take one.
|
|
o
More examples doe distance stundents in this course. More
understanding when a student says I do not get it I need a little help.

To have an actual class meeting time. Even if the class only meets once a week.
Then the rest of the work could be completed online.

It should be less difficult.
|

o
I like everything!
|
|
o
have more room instruction from the professor
|
|

I would like to see more online courses. They really help a person that works a
full time job and still can have the chance to go to school and enjoy it.

to make sure that all professors will answer questions in a timely
period

I would like to see more of the classes use the components of
on-line courses to supplement class.

I suggest to not letting educational classes be on-line. I took three partially on-line classes
this semester and I hated it. I
spent more time on the Internet after work and on my own time completing class
work than I would've if we had just met for the 2.5 hours on the appointed
day. I don't think I did very well
in my classes and am scared to get my grades because I am a people person
and on-line learning takes that away and it also makes learning
impersonal. I hated on-line learning
and will refuse to take another on-line class!
