Please provide any other general comments you have regarding the course or the instructor.

  • Way...too...much...reading!!!
  • So far, I still feel lost about what I should focus on. So much reading that I can't find time to get it all done. The instructor never participates in the discussion forums so I find that we go in circles and never really learn anything from each other.
  • I liked this course so far – thank you!
  • Maybe it’s not fair to compare, but the instructors from last term were way more with-it, or with us. Our instructor barely shows up!
  • I feel overwhelmed by all the reading and the constant quizzes.
