“The best part about the course was the way that we learned the theory of the material outside of class, then we had class time to do the hands-on parts of the material allowing us easier access to help and the ability to have questions answered as we worked.” “Dr. Wright’s different approach to the course really worked well with me. Watching the video lectures on my own then coming in and being able to hear him clarify any problems with different words or with a different example really helped me to understand things a lot better. Having most of the class time to do work and get feedback on it made it so it was almost impossible to have last minute problems. I even got a lot of my work done a few days before the deadline thanks to it.” Comments

This course started off pretty rough, but by the end, I felt that it improved greatly. At first, I felt that we were fully teaching ourselves and I was hoping for a better balance of teacher and student input. The projects were very demanding and felt overwhelming in addition to the weekly work that involved 2 quizzes and readings from scholarly journals. I just felt like I was constantly doing work for this class and was not getting a connection between the readings and the projects we did during class. About halfway through the semester, I got better when we slowed down the projects and made one of the quizzes take home. I felt that I was learning the material a lot better and the extra reinforcement from a powerpoint presentation given by the professor was a great help in connecting the dots. By the end of the course, I can reflect on it and say that I learned a ton and enjoyed myself. Getting used to the workload was the first major hump, and learning to put the emphasis on how much I learn and not the grades was another lesson learned. I thought the instructor did a good job in teaching this course once we worked out the bugs, and I enjoyed learning the material. Comments
