"I have taken some online classes before and I can honestly say that this was the best one. The format that you have set for your online classes are great and very helpful especially the set dates. Not to mention you seem to know how to get the students to push themselves. The Chats where great. It's nice to hear other ideas. There are a lot of great minds out there."
"Blackboard is a great system. I enjoy the fact that with the online courses you can do the homework when your time allows. I prefer a structured course over just do it all by a certain date. This way everybody is literally on the same page. The fact that orientation is ONLINE is great, too! Who is not busy at the beginning of the semester?"
"I found this course very interesting and I really enjoyed the online format. The one thing I was concerned about when I took this online class was whether or not communicating with the teacher would be a problem so I want to thank you for always getting back to me quickly with the questions I had. ... You have no idea how much it helped!"
"To succeed in online classes you must be self-motivated! Take a class with a friend if you can or have support from your family. Work on assignments when you have extra time at lunch or early in the morning. Plan on spending more time on assignments in the early weeks until you get used to the class format."
