Spring 2010 Distance Education Survey (Student Comments)

Question 23: What did you dislike about the online portion of this course?

confusing with deadlines and miscommunication

nothing

time between talking to the professor

I wish the system did not shut down on fridays. It seems whenever I was going to do work on a friday the system would be shut down. Other than that it was great. I do wish you could forward your e-mails from course den to another e-mail.

I enjoyed the course.

I wish she had put the material up the weekend before instead of the DAY OF the online class. It was frustrating because there was more to do than you could get done in the hour and 15 minute class period.

There were tons of assignments to submit and things got a little confusing.

Dealing with CourseDen. Halfway through the semester it got to be very difficult to email. It would not bring up the list of people in the class and then sometimes you'd write your email and click send and then tell you it could not connect to CourseDen

Nothing... I loved everything. Everything was laid out accordingly.

Bad connection sometimes slowed up completion of assignments

Sometimes the assignments and expectations were not clear.

Nothing

the teacher was very vague in what we were suppose to do and it was to cluttery and not very well organized.

n/a

i disliked the fact of not being able to get in touch with my teacher, and even though she allowed us to contact her via e-mail, timing was still put off a couple of days.

The Team Work.

The online grades haven't been calculated in our grades yet and I paid $70 to be able to use the online materials.

nothing

It is online I prefer to learn in a classroom because I comprehend more info

n/a

Sometimes there was too many folders to look in. Which was kind of overwhelming.

There was way too many assignments required.

I did not like the fact that most assignments were to be submitted via e-mail. Sometimes, I submitted assignments that were not received, and/or I submitted assignments early and they were lost. I am assuming that these assignments were lost, or not see

Online needs to be more structured and streamlined. The course would work great online but since this was the first one, there were many emails, postings, etc about the same subject, topic or assignment. I felt like I had to check 5 different areas or d

The LACK of use of the Assignments Task box. In past, my other three On Line CISM courses in past two semesters used ASSGNMNT task for Inbox, Submitted, Graded and Published. This works with courses requiring multitude of assignments.

nothing

To much busy work was required for this coures.

I have no complaints.

nothing

Sometimes e-mails were not responded to right away.

Nothing, this was a great course

Nothing

The amount of work!

In the beginning, I did not like the assignment due time of 8pm. Then she changed it to 11pm, which was better for all working people!

None

n/a

Every part of this online course was efficient.

Too much busy work. Save trees.

The teacher's lack of knowledge regarding how to use the onine class.

There was not an aspect of the course that I dislike

nothing

nothing

I disliked nothing about this course.

Work was hard to send through WebCt because of the size

nothing.

Came to enjoy instructor so much, I hated not to get to see her in class. E-mail and office visits were so encouraging and informative; I wish more instructors were like her.

The workload is outrageous, but I learned a lot. Not sure how you change that!!

I disliked the fact of the amount of work and how a lot of times my teacher was unavailable.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Nothing at all.

The online session was ok. The only thing I dislike is the time destinated for system cleaning. I think 10pm on friday evenings should be adjusted to a later hour.

No dislikes

the teacher was not involved at all. she proctered the exams.

Course Den sometimes kicks you out for no apparent reason.

Nothing.

I could never get the professor to email me back.

This is a difficult course to conduct and learn online.

I wish that my professor would be quicker about responding to my messages on course den.

Tests did not match up with course material and no help was ever offered.

Computer problems and posting assignments was a mess for me, maybe it was not for others but I tried to follow instructions good.

Tests are more difficult.

I would rather be in a classroom. I would have liked to hear him describe, in detail his expewrience in Anthropology-instead of reading everthing.

the book and test were completely unrelated.

It was hard to figure out what the teacher was looking for on tests without a lecture.

Technical difficulties.

The content and lectures were, boring, tedious and contained too much information read too quickly and garbled.

The down time on Fridays for upgrades

it was more difficult to comprehend.

The power point presentations from the teacher are not in good working order. They need to be reviewed and redone. When approaching the teacher with this information, myself and other students were told it had been years since she even looked at them. I w

The biggest draw back to the course were the power point lectures. They were often slow at loading which sometimes made an hour long lecture take over two hours to complete. At that rate I would have much preferred actually attending class. Also, print

not being able to have student teacher interaction (face to face)

The constant videos that were extremely hard to understand and did not load very easily at all. Writing papers about things with extremely high expectations without being taught anything from the teacher.

Everything. The teacher was awful, rude, and uninformative. The class was advertised as 98-100% online but i found out halfway through that they had been meeting twice a week. The syllabus even said 'since this class doesn't actually meet...'. I asked the

There really wasn't anything that i particularly disliked. I do not really have any complaints.

I have no complaints about the course. I think the site is well set up and organized and everything is very accessible to the students.

Nothing.

I did not like the aplia at all. The questions were worded to be confusing. Also i did not like how the midterm and I suppose the final were worded. I found them also to be mislead when compared to the reading material.

the help line is oblivious and has no real clue how the online classes work or how to resolve problems. i once had a problem with taking a test and they essentially told me that they could not do anything.

nothing

Course Den kicking me out for no particular reason

Nothing.

Because I love the way she teaches in class also

The questions that pop in head that you didnt think of you cant just ask like in class

if anything maybe too many assignments.lol

Not learning in a class setting.

I think the assignments could have been laid out a little better. Since we never met face to face better instructions for assignments would have been helpful.

I felt I would have learned more about the material (terms on the test) if we had face to face meetings.

The content was challenging; it would have been beneficial to meet a few times.

I dislike the fact that our midterm and final were not online. It conflicted with my student teaching schedule.

When I originally signed up for this class it was not supposed to be an online course. The amount of reading was very intense, and some of the subject was difficult. May have been better if this class were in a classroom setting more than just twice in th

I did not like the assignments that were given in this course to do them all online was extremely difficult and stressful.

It was convienent but I did not learn as much on line as I would have in class. This information is very crucial to our future career and interacting with the teacher was missing. the have been in the classroom and can give us hints or clues as to what

It was hard for the instructor to really explain the assignments without being face-to-face with examples and such.

Course Den had a few glitches. Occasionally, I would receive an error message when I tried to attach files to through Course Den. Other than this issue, I enjoyed the online portion of this course.

Nothing

Communication can be difficult when doing group work.

Nothing

I have to admit that I was not a big fan of the schema diagram project.

n/a

No complaints

Not much

The time required to read everyone's post.

nothing

I miss face to face discussions.

None

n/a

N/A

had troubles with Wimba tool..inconsistent performance

Very rigorous

If you have any technical difficulties, you miss the whole class time. It can be very frustrating.

wimba classroom did not always work as designed. echo and other communication issues made it difficult to hear and understand

I didn't like doing the group projects for a course that was strictly online. Its very difficult to get everyone online to work together as a 'group'. I know that one student didn't have a strong enough internet connection, and therefore wasn't able to fu

I don't think group projects are that conducive for online courses. I felt that that portoin was much harder to do, and required a bit more stress than would of occured had the group work been done with an on campus course.

group work was hard b/c my group members are not tech savvy

Not knowing what my grade was

I was not a fan of this class because we did just about the same thing each week- read, post comment, respond to comment, post again. After awhile it was just busywork!

Nothing.

getting help when you needed it.

Not really that much

I dislike the fact that if I had questions I would have to ask through email and wait for an answer.

no face to face teacher teaching

I wasn't always aware of the due dates for assignments.

Instructions weren't always plain.

Nothing specific comes to mind, I enjoyed the course.

Access portion of the course needs to be looked at...this is a difficult program and needs a little more attention. this course is also extremely bias toward Microsoft vista. A majority of the students use apple computers with Microsoft suit installed.

not being able to work ahead

there was a signifcant lack of direction and instruction. there was no real way for the instructor to show or 'teach' how to do the lessons, we were just expected to figure out the assignments on our own

alot of work

Nothing.

na

there was nothing that i dislike

sometimes its harder to understand the instructions for an assignment without hearing them verbally

Alot of due dates that i could potentially forget

N/A

pretty tough

Nothing

Really,,,, no complaints

N/A

I didn't dislike anything about the online course.

I liked everything it was a great class. If i have to take anymore classes i will definitely take Mr. Rooks. he is a great teacher and very helpful.

The only thing that I found to dislike had to do with WebCT. I wish there was a way to organize the assignments and folders within a course on your WebCT. i.e. This course had many assignments, but after they were completed and turned in, they were still

It was difficult to find the answers needed for some of the exercises

Just normal technology errors.

Nothing.

Having so much to complete the final week of class. I like to work ahead and the assignments weren't up fast enough.

That I can't do most of the assignments at the very beginning; I have to wait for the professor to post them. We should have access to all the content from the beginning, so that if we want to finish the course in a week, we may.

Again, not much online other than doing the actual program design and code.

Nothing.

not being able to ask about poorly explained questions on exams

It was a little late in the day for my preference. But I don't think that it was the teachers fault.

Would have liked to be able to learn from the class as much as possible through in classroom interaction and collaboration.

Nothing.

wish i could take final earlier

I do not like that the system shuts down on Friday.

It was hard to keep up with work because its so easy to forget to check online.

workbook costs too much money.

Sometimes my work was not submitted, when I thought that it was. The Friday's that the server goes down was inconvient because I would always forget.

Didnt really like the instructor. He did nothing and made his TA do it all. He wouldnt even answer questioins he refer me to her.

Turning in my workbook on a day that I do not usually come to campus because this is an online course.

I would rather contribute to classroom discussions because I learn more effeciently

No complaints.

The teacher's response times to emails was rather slow.

No complaints.

I feel that having Statistics online is insane!!! This course requires a hands on approach due to how much hardwork you must put into this course. Online is a bad idea.

The professor posts videos of updates to the class, but it could be up to a month before a posting. He said in his last video that the final exam might or might not be in person. That is something that students need to know so we can plan to be on campu

Nothing

nothing

I can't think of anything that I disliked about it.

Sometimes e-mails were not responded to immediately.

To make an 'A' in this class one only has to do this: do the very easy assignments get the test answers from a friend

Directions to assignments werent clear.

I liked the class.

not hearing the lecture in person and having to find all the needed info myself

I found that professor's representations may be too few for me.

I lost the opportunity to communicate with classmates.

I found minimal complains.

This course was very efficient.

it can be hard to keep up with the class sometimes.

the tests are given too great a percentage (75%) of the course grade for 3 tests. The amount of work related to the other 25% of the class greatly outweighs the testing but is not given very much significance in the overall grade. This should be changed.

Not all critical questions were easy to answer.

the teacher. I felt she asked to much for the class and her test were ridiculous if you were not a major in mass comm.

The availabilty of having a teacher to ask questions.

That there wasn't really a continuous discussion. For example, if you responded to someone they didn't necessarily respond back and so whatever conversation that could have happened in a classroom setting did not.

Not feeling a part of campus life.

nothing at all

i liked everything about it. nothing to really complain about

That sometimes there where technical malfunctions with the website

nothing it was excellent.

i didnt dislike anything.

Instructor feedback (lack of)

Too little feedback and guidance about the work required.

The professor was very slow to respond to emails if she even responded. Drop boxes were not set up for assignments.

The availability of a teacher to ask questions.

none

nothing

none

Nothing.

Nothing

I didn't understand why I had to login everyday when the class was scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays. I quess it was set up this way to keep you from forgetting to log in.

I liked everything about the online course.

nothing

That we had to log on to westga coursden everyday....some days i was unable to log on to the internet because of internet problems.

That if I had a question I couldn't just ask for help. I prefer to ask for help in person.

Lack of clarity/ high ambiguity level in quizzes and such.

The time limit of the quizes

most of the stuff I already knew

the quizzes were hard to catch onto at first

Some of the requirements of assignments were confusing but nothing major.

The inlab help. The tutors were not very helpful and patient

I did not get extra points because I did not go to the tutoring center.

It was extremely easy to just leave alone, like myself.

If I had trouble it was a little difficult to fully get the help I needed.

nothing

Nothing

Everything was limited on time. I had to rush to finish projects

How difficult some assignents were, without clear explanations.

The only thing that i did not like was the ending time for the assignments which was at 11am.

Sometimes I forgot to do a quiz.

If I was unsure of instructions on an assignment having to make time to go and recieve help rather than with on campus classes you can ask the professor right then

Time management was sometimes hard because I would forget that assignments were due.

nothing

Not enough interaction from the teacher.

The fact that we were supposed to log in everyday to be counted as present.

The online tutoring only allows for one student to get help at a time and the wait was long.

The part that I didn't like was a particular assignment that we had to 'speak' to a tutor. As for me personally, I understood how to do everything, so I didn't think is was fair that if we didn't 'speak' to a tutor on that assignment we were only given ha

I really have no complaints. I was able to get in contact with the teacher despite it being an online course every time I've ever had questions or concerns and it was always almost immediate responses I received.

quizes were too difficult

Some of the directions were unclear

Nothing!

that 4 projects were due within 4 weeks

N/A

directions were not step by step. it was confusing to just look at an example and have to mimic it.

The lack of communication between instructor and student for assitance.

Not being able to talk to a teacher face-to-face

N/a

Nothing really.

I did not like that the availability of help was mostly through peers that took the class. I understand that tutprs are available but with my class and work schedule it is very difficult to see them.

Not always knowing how to do things.

I disliked that you only got ten minutes to do the quizzes.

needs clarification

points were taken away on little mistakes on the assignments

It was difficult to get questions answered.

I didn't like how you had to log on every single day or else it would be counted as an absence because sometimes its hard to get to a computer with internet if you have a busy schedule or if you don't have internet at your house. I also didn't like how at

the time limit alloted to take the quizzes

n/a

no dislike... Just wont take online agian

The professor would not answer my e-mails that did not have to do with the syllabus. I had an issure regarding submitting an assigment and I never recieved a reply and therefore, got a zero for the assignment.

I did not like how some of the quiz questions were very broad.

deadlines and the assignments

There wasn't really anything I disliked about the course, I'll be honest.

10 minute time limit

constant quizzes! I would prefer a few larger tests to weekly quizzes.

I was almost unable to attend the mandatory in-person session, since my instructor was unwilling to discuss anything about the course over e-mail, including the location of the mandatory meeting to take the course. I did eventually find the information,

the lack of flexiblity with one of my assignments

I had no problems with this online course.

nothing. everything was great.

I liked everything.

Not much-everything was there for me to use. For each project I had step-by-step instructions on how to do to-it felt like I was getting one-on-one class time.

The instructor said at the beginning of the semester in orientation to not email him unless we had questions about the syllabus. I thought it was rude and unhelpful. I understand the class was big and he preferred we go to the computer lab and talk to the

I miss feeling a part of campus life.

Interaction with students and teacher is less than in the class room.

VBA_excel assignment was hard and very precise. It became fustrating when you could not figure out what the problem was. There needed to be a better format to follow, because nothing told me that I would have to space out the codes. I dont like to guess a

Sometimes it is easier to forget that there is an assignment if I forget to remember to check online frequently.

having to wait for answers to questions

I disliked the idea that you had to contract an computer expert online and go to the computer lab to get help with assignments. I felt the professor could have been more helpful.

there is no where to check your status concerning logging in to the course

I had to discipline myself to do the work

nothing.

the teacher was unwilling to help at all

nothing.

Nothing

I don't really have any complaints.

nothing

Not being able to see

I didn't understand everything all the time. After I got the hang of it, I was fine.

nothing really. I was uncertain about exactly what my professor wanted out of assignments at times, but I went with whta was most logical and ended up just fine.

Too short of a time for the quizzes

Nothing! It was all good!

An assignment required that you speak to a tutor even if you didn't need one. If you didn't speak, you got 50% of the credit for that particular assignment.

Having to sign in every day even when I did not have to do any assignments.

sometimes the grading was bad because i remember that i did a portion of an assignment and the person that graded my assignment marked that i did not do it, that was frustrating.

short amount of time to answer and check quizes.

The fact that we had to sign on every single day.

The quizzes sometimes had questions on them that did not seem to have a straight forward answer - like the scenario questions. Also, not being able to know the correct answers to the questions you missed once the quiz was graded.

Nothing at all :)

the wait on the grade time frame

i don't know really haven't really thought about it.

Nothing

the fact that i had multiple questions and i never got any responses to my emails

The quizzes.

khkj

None.

I disliked the fact that the professor wouldn't answer questions that weren't related to the syllabus.

I didn't really dislike anything.

that it was a bit harder only becasue you didnt have a teacher telling you every class when an assignment was due or when a quiz was but once you get the hang of it its very easy to remember and to get things done. Also when i had questions on certain ass

I can not complain about anything.

i wish i had a date limit to complete everything by a certain time.

I would sometimes forget I had an assignment due becasue there wasnt a class where you were constantly reminded of the assignments that were due.

I didn't like that the quizzes were only open for ten minutes. I feel it should at least be twenty minutes and I feel assignments should be due at twelve on the day not eleven. Twelve is a standard time.

nothing

N/A

I liked everything about it!

I disliked the amount of time given on the quizzes. I feel that 15 minutes would have allowed me to achieve an A instead of a B. I am not a fast reader and it was at times difficult for me to get the answers in time allowed.

Some of the reading material was boring, but it was good information I had not head before.

hard to get help if needed

I didn't like that I could very easily forget about when assignments and quizzes were due.

I didn't really feel as if there were any portion of this course that I had problems with

If I had a question while reading I did not have an instructor to ask questions to at the time. The online tutor required webcam accessories I did not have so it was not useful.

nothing, it was great !

Everything was explained very well and all of my questions were answered in the syllabus, but if I did have a question about an assignment it seemed a little difficult to be able to ask my professor.

Some things I think I might have understood easier if I was in a classroom and could ask the teacher questions as he taught.

That it was hard to learn the stuff on my own on difficult subjects.

Whether online or not, the 'instructor' or people facilitating the course must have a certain degree of intelligence and competency when it comes to teaching anything, much less administering such a course, and unfortunately neither were present in this i

Nothing.

Not having the immediate response of a teacher to interact with.

Quizzes were difficult. They were more difficult than the test.

I like having an actual textbook to read and study. It is difficult to read an e-book.

It's hard to teach yourself statistics.

I think of anything I dislike about the online portion of this course.

nothing

Can't think of anything I didn't like.

Have the test online as well, no need to have the midterm and final in class. It is an ONLINE course.

The fact that the professor regularly uses Microsoft Paint to teach. He would attempt to write with Paint and constantly have the screen zooming to areas that he wasn't talking about which made student not be able to follow him since he would say things l

Everything, terrible course to take online

The additional fees and not having the face to face instruction and the personal connection.

N/A

I didn't like how the assignment usually wasn't put up until Thursday and closed on Sunday. I think it should have been open Monday- Friday.

nothin

flexible hours were not long enough

The sound on the videos were really bad. The videos had a lot of detailed problems and great information on solving but much of the audio was not clear. Please note that I did not bring this to the professors attention because I was able to manager with

The Cost!!! All of the online courses are too expensive. One of the reasons that I chose my courses of study was the seemingly reasonable cost. The college has increased the price of education, much to the detriment of the student population.

I would like to see more course offered primarily on-line.

Lacking total faith in e-stuff and with my lack of confidence in my dealings with a computer, I feel a little at its mercy. Right now I am not sure my emails have been received by my professor, because I have not heard back from her. She has always resp

Sometimes assignments and directions were unclear.

There were no weekly deadlines.

Technical issues with login

NA

Nothing

Technical problems became a frustration. There are too many different locations to access cousework: CourseDen, etc...could only allow access to some courses. Other courses communicated through UWG website. Sometimes it all just got too confusing.

Face to Face meetings were inconvenient.

Sometimes it was difficult to download information that the professor needed us to have prior to class.

N/A

the face to face interaction. Conversations took longer to happen

I liked the online portion, but I am a person who traditionally prefers face to face classroom instruction.

I did miss the face to face interation with the professor. I find those interasactions to be more rich. This was not due to the way the professor conducted class, it was more the lack of interaction of the other students.

Login problems

NA

Nothing

Face to Face meetings

nothing

Sometimes it was hard to find the needed materials for assignments.

Very little communication from professor

Unable to ask for help when working on assignments late at night.

I dislike the way every class has a different organizational system. It makes finding things very difficult.

The tests were too messed up. I feel like the questions weren't always worded correctly.

nothing

The instructor was very unorganized which made it difficult to know what was due and when. I have never had such an un-envolved and unorganized instructor.

I did not dislike anything about the online portion of this class.

The lack of face to face time was a bit frustrating at times. Due to the fact that the entire class was online, it was difficult to have questions answered in a timely and appropriate manner.

Clear communication with instructor is more difficult

Nothing--it was a great course.

At times some of the assignments were confusing. I think that this course might be more enriching if it had a dew face to face meetings throughout the semester. I think that Educational Research is a rich content area. We all may have benefited from face

Lack of face to face interaction.

none

I felt a little unsure about what I was supposed to be learning during the semester, but the professor always was encouraging and helpful! I really don't have any complaints.

The only thing I do not like about on line courses is how impersonal they are. I like when I have a question being able to ask it and get an immediate answer. I also miss being able to bounce ideas off other students and the professor.

The group work. Some didn't pull their weight, while others did alot. Hard to get group together.

Nothing- I really loved her class.

I liked everything about it except doing group work. I am a fulltime working student & it was hard for me to meet at the same time the rest of my group could. Group work is good sometimes but not for an online course.

The field paper, I was really trying to make it look like the sample because I wasn't sure what to write about.

That I had to come to the first and last day of class. If it's online, it should be 100% online.

I was very satisfied with this course.

nothing

There are topics that I would have liked to discuss in person.

I am a procastonator and found myself waiting to read or go to class.

My lack of self discipline.

The group assignment was somewhat difficult to task. We all have different schedules, which is why we chose this distance learning class. Trying to get the group project together was very hard. Group assignments should not be a part of online learning.

Not much, this online class was not the typical online class because I still met with my instructor face to face at least twice a week.

If i was unsure about a assignment I would hae to send an email to the instructor.

Sometimes I am unsure if I am going in the right direction.

The GIS requires software, which was not provided.

Everything about the course.

the exams scheduling.

n/a

Except for sometime being thrown out of the computer system, there was not anything that I did not like.

I disliked the tests; I do better I think with sitting in a classroom to take an exam rather than taking them online. It was sometimes stressful for me.

I would rather be in a face to face class. I do better when I have someone rigfht there telling me something to do.

I'm not a fan of online classes. This course just happened to be online. I like to be able to be in a classroom environment and work with my teacher and others in my class.

The twelve page paper due at the end of the semester, I have other classes I am involved in.

Nothing.

Not being able to personally speak to your teacher day to day

nothing

The course was entirely online. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a class meeting. It helps to hear the instructor talk while the notes are being given.

The 5 discussions per week requirement. For this type of course, we (as in each member of the class) could probably have had only 1-2 per week on average if we didn't have problems to ask about with the homework.

Hard to ask questions about particular topics

I cannot think of anything

What I find with online courses is that at times you do not have that immediate access to a professor as one would in a traditional course. If you need an immediate answer to a question, you could get that in a traditionally taught course. With an online

I do not like online classes. There is always more work than regular face to face classes and I never feel as though I understand the material as well by the end of the semester.

Professor's lack of communication through email and through late assignment postings

Everything was discussed in the sylabus so there were no dislikes.

nothing

I miss the face-to-face interaction with the instructor.

No complaints

There was SO much more work than any non-online course I've ever taken.

It was a lot of work. Really--it was too much. Just overwhelming sometimes.

Little communication with other class members.

I was at the professors expense and this was detrimental. She never had assignments up on time or graded in a timely fashion.

Some of the projects were lengthy and I felt like we could have had more time to complete them.

I disliked not being able to interact with my classmates.

The teacher completely disregarded our class. She did not grade a single assignment until nearly the last couple weeks of school. Literally our assignments from the first week of school went ungraded for months. We had no idea where we stood until long af

There isn't anything I really dislike about an online course. If you have questions the professor or fellow students is just an email away. I normally don't think of a question about an assignment until I'm home and working on it anyway.

Knowing that you do not have that immediate feedback that you have in the classroom

It was a hassle doing some of the work because i do not have internet access at home.

I expected it going in, but it sucked that I had practice on weekends for Drum Corps and student taught on Tuesday and Thursday. So computer access was an issue at times. Because of the nature of computers, I was able to put little effort into assignments

The professor did not upload assignments for several weeks at a time, then when she did we had little time to complete them. She did not go by her schedule or syllabus. And, she never responded to our concerns or e-mails.

I liked everything.

Nothing was graded on time and I could never get any feed back from the teacher. We did not have any idea what we were supposed to be doing. We did not even get to complete all the assignments because she never got back to us.

Can't say anything negative about the course, except that i do not like the way UWGA's email system is set up as far as their 'send to' contact list...being that you can only email to people within the UWGA system. This is totally different from other un

I wasn't always sure if I was doing everything I was supposed to. (i.e. when assignments weren't posted for a couple of weeks.)

I am old-fashioned and non-traditional and when things don't go as planned I sometimes panic...uggghhh!!

Nothing.

Nothing, I believe it was fair...

There was a LONG turn around for grades!

I would have liked to have the assignments maybe two or three weeks aad of time, in order to work ahead.

I have no complaints.

Nothing!

I enjoyed the class. There was nothing to dislike.

Time management is crucial with online courses and managing my time wisely was a challenge at times.

I was unable to get a response when I had issues and my issues were never resolved, creating a situation where I almost gave up on the course, however I had to have it to graduate.

Nothing

None

the discussions that we posted online weren't very helpful

the complicated directions in different places. the assignments are too long and ask for too much, all the work we had to do is not be required to learn technology, thus shouldn't be part of this course.

The discussions

There were times when I could have used more face to face instruction for certain projects.

There were times that I had to wait for answers due to my working late nights. On a positive note, I always got a great response within 24 hours.

I disliked the impersonal feeling that I got from communicating with the professor online. with a face-to-face course, if I have a question about the material, I can speak with the professor and receive clarity at that precise moment; however, with this c

I would prefer to take classes on campus that you attend. I prefer the human interaction, and I feel that I learn and accomplish more this way. I wish the Graduate school offered more campus classes for those who wish to take them. I felt like the inst

I guess I am just an old fashioned student. I just do not seem to get the same sense of learning and accomplishment out of online classes. I feel much more comfortable being able to 'go' talk to a professor versus skyping them etc.

1 Face-to-face meeting that grade depends upon. I think that if you can respond to a message or something before a certain date, you shouldn't have to go to a face-to-face unless needed.

It was not very easy to understand certain directions for projects.

The online discussion were too structured - too many 'rules' for how/what to post.

discussion board

Instructions were somewhat vague or disorganized in their format and it made it hard to complete projects or discussions. Also, the internet and CourseDen is not perfect and can cause problems with missed deadlines which cannot be helped. The discussion

Had a few issues with java at first when submitting my assignments but that was resolved quickly

The books did not seem to be needed to succeed on the tasks. This was a large expense and seems unnecessary.

Didn't have any problems or complaints about the online course.

Nothing.

I am a first semester student and just figuring out how the whole webct thing worked was a little frustrating... it was really rushed during orientation and a lot of information was thrown at you. It was kind of a sink or swim to figure it out.

I needed a lot of time to get oriented to it.

Teaming up with people we met one time was a challenge. I get more information in large group discussions than reading others' works. In person, I would never hold back from asking a question in class, but I felt the need to hold back questions online so

My only dislike of any online course is the forced response to other people's comments. It can get so repetitive after a while, as another student will say something so simple and we are required to come up with an insightful response. I would rather re

Some things were confusing at first but with the Professors help I understood it.

I did not like that Dr. **** assignments are due at 9:59 P.M. I would much rather the assignments be due at midnight!

If I had questions I didn't have someone to ask... I usually got feedback fairly quickly though. I would have like to have had a calendar that went along with the syllabus. There was not a consistant due date for the projects--every tuesday for example--

Some of the assignment links given were not accurate which made early projects difficult and more confusing. I do understand links change, but it made it harder as a new uncertain student.

There was nothing I disliked about the online portion of this course.

nothing

NA

That it included Face to Face sessions.

Some of the technology had problems but were fixed very soon

could of used more f2f time

I disliked that materials on Courseden seemed to be all over the place. I felt like I had to search through too many folders to get to what I needed.

Final course reflection, foliotek, fe summary were very similar in nature and therefore redundant

Pushed me...I really learned a lot and was exposed to so many things I did not even know about before.

Some of our grades were released in a timely fashion, and some from the beginning of the course we have yet to see.

I was comfortable with the online portion of this course.

I always feel it takes me time to adjust to where assignments are located (folders, etc.) the first few weeks of class. I wish there was some sort of standard format for professors.

Not enough face time. Questions can be cleared up so much easier face to face than sending ten emails.

I had no problems with this at all.

The variances in format from class to class. (For example, some people use the calendar for all assignments, some use it for just some assignments, and others don't use it at all.)

I always feel that it takes me time to adjust to where assignments are, etc. However, I will say that Dr. ****'s format is especially organized, and other professors should model her webpage layout.

For me, face time is so much more effective than on line. I would like to hear more about the professors personal experiences and do more hands on technical projects.

It was not 100% online

I have no dislikes about the online portion of this course.

Research was a tough topic and I sometimes felt like I needed more face to face interaction.

I didnt like this class on line... The material was confusing at time... Not enough information given... Too much was expected from the instructor in a small amount of time...

Submitting through webct was somewhat difficult

I disliked the fact that my professor wasn't very familiar with using course den in an online class capacity. There were a number of situations that presented themselves that he didn't know how to deal with. It made this class frustrating at times.

nothing

At first I disliked the online simulation mainly because it was a lot to take it all at once. However, as I began to understand it better, I actually enjoyed doing it.

Generally, I like to work alone. I did not like having to depend on others that were in my group to ensure that assignments were being completed and turned in on time.

No dislikes

This course is much too difficult to be covered completely online. It's purpose is to use everything I've learned in college and combine it into one course. Muuuchhh more discussion, instruction, and support is needed for a course of this nature than can

Sometimes it is hard to find time just to sit down and do the work, but when you have a class meeting face to face you are suppose to go and it makes you go so you won't miss anything important.
