RE: EVOC 501 Course Evaluation

1. How much experience have you had with online courses?

I have had quite a bit of experience with online courses. I would say that at least ½ of my credits have been through online classes.

2. How did EVOC 501 compare to other courses you have had?

I found it to be enjoyable which is not always the case with online classes. I looked forward to the assignments - Most of them were actually fun.

3. How would you describe the directions for course assignments?

The directions were concise and clear. I was appreciative of the examples.

4. How would you describe the examples of course assignments?

The examples were great. They helped me to understand the format that was wanted and were a guide for my success.

5. How would you describe the organization of the E-TEXT?

The organization took a little while to get used to – it was different than most online set ups. But once I understood the layout and links it was actually easier to use than most.

6. How would you describe feedback provided by the instructor?

The feedback was concise and clear. I think that it was a great motivator to keep going.

7. What did you like best about the online EVOC 501 course?

The ability to work at my own pace and that all assignments could be viewed from day one. I felt like I knew what I was getting in to and could work ahead – which I like.

8. Which of the assignment(s) did you find to be of most value?

Definitely the Lesson Plan assignments - as I have not taught to date this is all new information to me and was presented in a way that was easy to understand. I enjoyed it.

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

I found the culture and video lesson to have the least value. I enjoyed it but didn’t see that it added as much value as the others.

10. What is your overall impression of the value of EVOC 501?

I enjoyed the course. I was able to work through assignments at my own pace and was provided a roadmap to succeeding. I really enjoyed it.
