Course Assessment Learning Environment: I pretty much liked everything (especially the freedom to work at your own pace). If I were to drop anything, it would be the team mindmap making. Excel: I acquired many new skills that I can actually apply in the future. Access: Like Excel, many new and useful skills were acquired. HTML/Dreamweaver: HTML was a review for me, but Dreamweaver showed how to make HTML much easier. I know I will use Dreamweaver in the future.

Course Assessment (cont’d) MathCAD: Like Dreamweaver, this is something useful I will probably use in the future. Stress Management Sessions: Keep these; they were a nice break from the computer. Videos: I liked the videos more as a break from the computer than as a valuable learning experience. I am indifferent on keeping them. Other Non-Technical Activities: While I saw the value in them, I didn’t find them very interesting. I am indifferent on keeping them.

Course Assessment (cont’d) Final Project and Presentation: I liked the freedom of choosing your own topic for the final project. I am indifferent on this presentation.
