- That it is more on-line.
We had about three presentations.
|
|
|
|
|
- Allow the students to
study on their own.
|
|
|
- I would like to see less
student chit-chat during the chat sessions b/c side conversations make
the lecture hard to follow.
|
- For the professor to be
more involved. To literally
make it the same experience as if the professor was teaching in a
classroom. Also adding a
"virtual learning" piece where the professor is
lecturing/teaching and all students can actually see him and submit
questions and comments.
|
|
|
|
|
- Consider making a couple
of the online chats shorter, maybe just 30 minutes, and primarily use
to answer class questions.
|
|
|
- Require a little less
volume of work.
|
|
|
|
|
- I love 100% online
courses, so add some more!!
|
- I don't have any. I think WebCT works well.
|
|
|
- Have an interactive FAQ,
24-hours a day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make them where you can
learn the lessons on line like the computer class, I had an English
one that was HORRIBLE
|
|
|
- Don't make courses, like
computer classes, that should be taught in a classroom on-line.
|
- Overhaul the homework
system to allow students to skip questions they are unsure of and come
back to them at a later time.
|
|
|
- Quit using Authorware. It
stinks.
|
|
|
|
|
- More courses should be
offered online
|
- To help with knowing who
help with group work, have each turn different things in.
|
- I do not have any
suggestions.
|
- More details on how
grades are counted and no group projects.
|
|
|
- Have more online courses
available to students
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- More opportunities to
display independent thought (i.e. papers and other assignments)
|
- Have some quizzes to
prepare you more for the tests.
|
- For people who like the
online set-up, this course was a good one. Maybe a few quizzes or more
worksheets could be more helpful.
|
- The HTML editor used to
post assignments to the bulletin board needs to include the ability to
double space assignments.
|
|
|
|
|
- no suggestions at this
time
|
|
|
- Be able to write a formal
paper and submit it like it is written.
|
- I loved not having to
chat once a week. That is a
waste of time!
|
- If teachers are going to
require everything in APA style and they really encourage you not to
send papers as attachments then WebCT has got to find a way (besides
HTML editor because it doesn't work) to meet that requirement.
|
|
|
- Training for at least
half an hour of the first class coordinated with the professor of what
his expectations were.
|
|
|
- The professors need to be
very clear about what they want turned in and when.
|
|
|
- The instructor needs to
be detail oriented!
|
- Place more of the classes
on-line. As more Universities move to online courses it is ridiculous
that this university has not added more online courses. This is especially
true in the education arena.
|
|
|
- Have more of the graduate
education classes taught on line.
|
|
|
- If this is how people
learn, then I think the set up is fine. I just prefer to learn in a
more personal setting.
|
|
|
- That all assignments be
placed in the syllabus so there are no surprises.
|
- More professors need to
utilize system, especially for graduate studies.
|
- If the instructor is very
organized, it will work well.
|
- Come up with a rubric for
professors creating WebCT syllabi.
|
- The instructor must be
organized and quick to post activities as the class progressed.
|
|
|
- Provide a combination of
on-line and face-to-face courses.
|
- It is hard to get help
from the 'help desk;' it appears to be irregularly or under-staffed.
|
- What we do online need to
be things that we cannot or would not do face to face. Listening to the instructor present
online does not invite dialog or interaction.
|
- Nothing. But I did like having some face to
face class time.
|
|
|
- Professors need to have a
more up-to-date syllabus.
|
- offer them at all student
levels in more subjects
|
|
|
- I think the set up for
this class was fine. I would
encourage some sort of online class discussion.
|
- don't make research
online
|
|
|
|
|
- Give on-line students a
hard copy of how to use web-ct
|
|
|
- Have a time when the
instructor is available online to chat with students about questions.
|
- Meet face to face at
least 4-5 times a semester.
|
- Consider the class to
decide if it needs more face to face instruction as this one did.
|
|
|
|
|
- This is a difficult class
to be totally online. There is
some very hard content that is difficult to understand on your on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I would like to have a
meeting on campus to ask questions about the required readings,
quizzes and test.
|
|
|
- Make some completely on
line, requiring no on campus classes
|
|
|
- I am not sure that I
would. This on line class served its purpose and Abbott did a great
job with it.
|
|
|
- I feel that most of the
education courses should be offered online. Many teachers have avoided
your school because so many on-line universities exist. While a total
on-line program may not be desirable, the fact that so few of your
courses are on-line-- drive them to the other universities. As gas
prices increase, this will be a bigger problem for the university
|
|
|
|
|
- Too much time spent on
bulletin board.
|
- know that I am
knowledgeable about the on-line programs/course
|
- Don't fall behind. Stay on track and you will do fine.
|
- Only do these courses if
you are disciplined and computer savvy.
|
- Post all work in the
beginning so students can finish as quickly as they like.
|
|
|
- More WebCT classes
available, because of conflicts with other ed. classes. I don't feel
safe being on campus after 6 so I don't want to take evening classes,
but you have to if you are an
ed major and can only take classes 2 days of week because you commute.
|
- The College should
provide a discounted version of a webpage maker that could be used for
this course.
|
- I would have liked to
learn how to use some aspects of the computer in a more productive
manner. I would have liked to
have learned something useful.
|
- If the class only meets
for two days make sure the work for the course only require no more
than 3 days to finish the assignments.
|
|
|
- How to post your
assignments, and some kind of tutoring (person to person).
|
- Some instruction in the
first class meeting about the WebCT.
|
|
|
- I don't know of any
changes that I would make.
|
- Give a beginner class to
those who need it on how to use the resources available.
|
- That the workload be
revamped.
|
- having total on-line
courses
|
- Recommend to professors
of online courses that they either does not require group work, or
that they make it optional.
|
|
|
- make sure the
instructions and information are clear and free of mistakes
|
|
|
|
|
- easier to read and
understand syllabus with course assignments laid out in a more
organized fashion
|
- Update the format to be clearer.
It seems things were laid out on the page in odd places
|
- Better organization and a
clearer picture as to what was expected.
|
|
|
- Find a way to preview
attachments.
|
- Part online/part in class
instruction.
|
|
|
- Professor should provide
consistent and weekly feedback.
|
- To better organize the
assignments within the class content and ensure dates and information
are accurate.
|
|
|
|
|
- It requires a full
semester session.
|
- My suggestions for future
online courses are to make them totally online.
|
- State requirement about
study guides for chapters--I would have preferred to type them and
submit them if I'd known that I would need to bring them in. I wrote
all over them!
|
- Continue to offer at
least 2-3 face to face class meetings.
|
|
|
- I think they way things
are now with 3 F2F meetings is a good balance. Some classes could
probably meet once at the beginning and then submit all work online
with possible an optional F2F for students who need extra help or want
that additional contact.
|
- None of these ridiculous
surveys.
|
|
|
- Half and Half would be
nice. I feel like I read the book and teach myself the course.
|
- Make the F2F portion on
Saturdays more often. It's hard
to meet on weeknights due to Atlanta
traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I would suggest they
re-do the policies for students taking on-line classes as far as
parking is concerned. When you
only go to campus 3 times a semester and then it is mostly in the
evening they should not be giving us tickets for parking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I was charged fees for
services such as transportation and health that I never used. I don't think those fees should be
applied to those taking classes online.
|
|
|
- Better assistance when it
comes to registering on-line when you are a brand new student. My experience was quite enjoyable; I
had to register face to face after calling and being transferred
numerous times. Then, what I
was instructed to do did not work.
|
|
|
- Maybe letting individual
students post their own assignment instead of having each student turn
in to group leader.
|
|
|
- students should be able
to post work as individuals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- have more of a variety to
choose from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- That the university
wouldn't make us pay fees for all the services we don't use since we
aren't on campus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The WebCT log-on should
be more user friendly.
|
- Dr. Putney utilizes WebCT
most effectively. I typically not like online courses but her
instructions are so thorough and she is responds quickly and with
valuable insight. A lack of feedback is one of the reasons why I
dislike online courses, but I feel I get adequate feedback from Dr.
Putney. I feel comfortable contacting her directly, which I greatly
appreciate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- To have the courses
completely on-line or only have the student come one time to campus.
The drive is difficult.
|
|
|
- Have total on line
courses
|
- More spread out
deadlines. Having to go on-line
every few days is time consuming.
|
- My only complaint is that
I miss the face to face interaction, but that is overshadowed by not
wasting time in traffic.
|
- Really use the components
of online! Dr. Elizabeth does a
great job and fully utilizing it.
|
|
|
|
|
- Have classes on same day
during summer so people don't have to drive so many times.
|
|
|
- Offer as many as
possible!!!
|
|
|
|
|
- add spell check to
discussion board and e-mail
|
- This was a great
class. Instructor did a
wonderful job and I learned a lot.
|
- Get that "Lifespan
and Human Development" class online as well. The way THAT class
was run compared to THIS one made "Lifespan" look like a
dinosaur.
|
- have somewhere we could
post questions etc. to our professor on the bulletin board
|
- Please make more of them
available. I would love to see you put a PhD that was at least
primarily online. Those of us who live in the northwest corner of the
state have no where that we may go to further our educations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- While chatting/discussion
is important to any class, with distance education, it is much better
to have assignments which are individually completed. Students choose distance education
so that they can fit it into an already busy schedule and because it
is already difficult for them to find time to meet in a class or
group.
|
|
|
- to have teachers and
students use WEBCT daily to receive information
|
- Have instructors assign
common on-line chat times for real-time discussion among class. Just a
few during the course duration would be nice.
|
- The professors need to be
proficient at using WebCT, utilizing all components available. No part of WebCT should be deleted
or blocked and grades should be posted on a weekly basis, as well as
weekly contact with the students via email/bulletin board.
|
- Syllabus should be posted
weeks before the beginning of class. Thus, students have time to buy
the books.
|
- Increase the amount of
type for chat boxes; more examples on-line and web-sites
|
- I would like to see more
availability of online courses.
|
|
|
- none-maybe make the books
easier to find-
|
- I would like to be able
to take more of them.
|
|
|
- Have master programs on
web especially all of the educational programs including special
education.
|
- More teacher contact and
input. Chat room talks with the
teacher, and more variety in assignments.
|
- Catch up to the 21rst
century
|
|
|
- Maybe meet once every two
weeks for some face to face interaction and allow the teacher to
actually teach!
|
- Course work can be broken
down into weekly assignments online.
See MEDT 6401 on WebCT
|
- Maybe meet more than
once, like to review for tests
|
- letting students know
ahead of time if travel to campus is involved, I thought this class
would be all online
|
- Offer some CEPD classes
online!
|
- Is there a way to provide
examples/samples of assignments required for respective courses? You see this ONLY when attending
classes on campus. ALSO, can
you increase what you can say/respond to in the chat box?
|
- We need more. As a
working adult, it is more convenient for me to complete a graduate
degree. I like the staff at UWG
and feel they were very helpful in the summer.
|
|
|
- It might be helpful if in
addition to office hours, the instructor had a time that they would be
available to chat online if student's had questions.
|
|
|
- Offer surveys directly
from the WebCT site that is listed with course itself...justlike you
did here.
|
- Offer more master's
courses online
|
|
|
- Nothing...I loved this one! :-)
|
- have all graduate classes
online
|
- Have more classes on
line-so people who live away from campus can have more options.
|
- I think it is important
to have a balance of face to face classes and on line classes. Both are beneficial. Can you establish a bookstore at the
Newnan campus?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Go to lab for first
timers and actually pull up pages ourselves and test out chat room
|
- I do not know, because
most people like them the way they are
|
- Get rid of yellow pop-up
bar!!
|
|
|
- Always post all
grades. It makes it easier to
keep up with for the students.
|
|
|
|
|
- Dr. X used an excellent
format. I think if the standard college course format (assigned
readings, midterm, final) were used for WebCT courses, I feel many
students (including myself) would not have the self-discipline to keep
up. For students to be successful in online courses, I feel that instructors
should give short, relevant assignments spaced over the term to keep
students on track and ensure they are really synthesizing the
material.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- No online
discussion. It's too much of a
hassle
|
- more time in case of
problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Hybrid courses wouldn't
be bad. having the internet/classroom setting would be beneficial
|
|
|
|
|
- Put more films in the
library
|
- Make a way so that there
is no time limit to being on Web
CT.
|
- I don't have any
suggestions
|
|
|
- The on-line portion is
okay but maintain the emphasis on in-class meetings and discussion.
|
- Offer more online courses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The MYUWG system need
some improve because when I was logged on to WebCT, the portal would
sometimes logo me off while I was trying to access some information.
