Case: Mid-point Course Review

These are the open-ended comments provided by learners on the mid-point course evaluation survey...

• Liked being able to select a topic for the first paper.
• Simple and predictable: weekly readings, discussion, quizzes.
• The textbook is easy to read.

What topics or other elements (if any) would you like to see added to this course? Why?

• More current developments in the field – online/news stories, real cases.
• Some videos or podcasts might be useful.
  
• An instructor who showed up would have been nice - just sayin'...

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.
