Short Answer: (Short answer but a complete answer with explanation if possible.)
17. What I liked most about this class? This was the first online class that I have taken online that actually has made me want to learn because I was able to pick an issue that I am interested in and tie it to the information that I was learning in class. The other classes that I have taken online haven’t offered this option, it was mostly learn out of the book and answer questions which get redundant. This class actually allowed me to think and made me appreciate reading.
18. Liked the least? What I liked the least about the class was the fact that when assignments were first posted, I went ahead and completed, then a couple of days later the process was different and more information was added to the section that I had already completed. Ex) Poll Issue.
19. What I would change? (Consider what possibly might be omitted due to amount of time involved but still being able to include all objectives for the course.)
I wouldn’t change anything, I think that this class is a lot of work, however the information that we have to learn ties in perfectly with the expectations that the teacher has for this class. The only thing I would change from this class is sending the entire requirement rubric that was sent to us in an e-mail. I feel that if this information is added to weebly CRE 101 students would know what is exactly required for the class and what they should be doing. This would allow the student to know what is needed and only ask questions when they are really necessary.
20. Why did you take an online class instead of a lecture class?
I took an online class instead of a lecture class because I work full time and I have day care throughout the daycare for my children throughout the day, however there was no time to actually take the class online. I also like to learn by myself, and I like to figure things out by myself instead of being in a group and interacting with a lot of people. Therefore I took the class online because it was convenient with my hectic schedule.!
21. Now, that the course is over, will you continue to take courses in critical thinking and analysis? Why or why not?
I will continue to take critical thinking classes because it helped me to analyze information differently and to really understand the underlying messages that I didn’t realize were there before. I also need to think critically; since I want to be an RN I will have to think critically on a daily basis.
22. Anything else you'd like to share...
I would like to say that this has been my favorite online class so far. I believe that every assignment once I found out exactly what was required was pretty easy. I also liked how Ms. Salsedo provided immediate responses to emails and concerns. This helps a lot especially since this is an online class. I wouldn’t have been able to complete this class if I didn’t have Ms. Salsedo’s prompt attention and help to any concern that I had. This was the first time that I have had a teacher really care that her students understands the information and can complete the sections that were assigned or the course successfully. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity of being in this class. And thank you for the Service Project, even though I have volunteered for the HOM organization for about 1 year now, this was really the first time that I really appreciated the organization and what it stands for. Again, thank you!
