RE: EVOC 501Course Evaluation

1. How much experience have you had with online courses? - This was my first online experience.

2. How did EVOC 501 compare to other courses you have had? - I enjoyed the class and learned a substantial amount. I have taken other instructor type classes, but this was my first one with lesson planning information. I really benefited from that portion of the class. I know I have a ways to go before truly conquering the concept, however, I feel I have a good foundation now.

3. How would you describe the directions for course assignments? - Extremely easy to follow.

4. How would you describe the examples of course assignments? - Very helpful and useful. I relied on them heavily when I wasn't sure about what to do.

5. How would you describe the organization of the E-TEXT? - Overall very organized, although there were times I felt I was getting lost in cyberspace when I had to navigate though several pages to find answers.

6. How would you describe feedback provided by the instructor? - I looked forward to it and appreciated both the constructive criticism as well as the positive reinforcement!

Some weeks I only did one assignment, and other weeks I would catch up  by doing several. My goal was to finish early, but life got busy, and I am thankful I did not have to stress about the class. That made it easier to concentrate and focus on the lessons. I also thought it was cool to sit back in my pajamas and do homework.

8. Which of the assignment(s) did you find to be of most value? - By far, the best and hardest assignment was the lesson I had to do extra work on and that was WR4 Quiz Development.

9. Which of the assignment(s) did you find to be of least value? - FA3 Class Roster.

10. What is your overall impression of the value of EVOC 501? - It was a very positive experience and I look forward to taking another onli
