The web chapters were pretty helpful because if someone missed class one day then he/she could look at the web chapter and get most of the notes. The link to the quiz grades has never had any grades on it, so I guess was the least helpful aspect of the WebCT. After I realized what was going on with the postings, I guess they were helpful. I did find the web chapters to be helpful. I liked having the quizes on the WEBCT.

The web chapters were very helpful. They helped me understand more than what was said in class. If I did not understand something in class, then I could find the material there explained in more detail.

Personally, I felt the online chapters were helpful when it came to the quizzes. I did like the quizzes, as well. The only problem I found was having something due from the internet every class period, or at least for a while there. I have to go to the library and it just seemed like an inconvenience. When you started letting us do one a week, I began to actually read the stuff and learn it. The ability to post things that needed to be turned in was a good idea once you explained exactly how to do it. I think in your next class, you should take them into the computer lab earlier and show them how to post under "reply" instead their own topic. I think that would help you as well. The best thing about the internet websight chapters was if I missed something in class, i was able to look it up on the internet instead of "tracking"you down. Overall, I liked the access even though it did take awhile to get used to it.

Yes i really like the computer resources. I loved the quizes just because i love the idea that you can take a quiz and get the grade immediately. The bulitin board is hard to get used to using but once you get used to it i think it is a great thing to have. The web chapters helped me out a lot in this class. All the paintings that were on there helped me while studying for a test and so did much of the material in the webchapters. The computer is really a great way to do classwork as long as the professor and the student both understand how it works.

I found the bulletin board surveys to be the most helpful. It kept me up to date with the material in class and it also helped me learn the material better because I was to write my own thoughts about the various units we went over in class. It gave me a chance to let the instructor know exactly what I was getting out of the course. Also, the web chapters helped me a great deal to prepare and to study for the tests we had this semester.

I found all the lessons on the web page very useful on the quizes and to study with. There was a lot of material presented in class and it was hard to retain it all in one class period. The web chapters allowed you to review the material again. The bulletin boards were also helpful because it allows you to see other students work to compare with. The web ct was very useful.

Hey Dr. Vess. Yes, I think the computer webct helped me very much. I think I enjoyed taking the quizes on the computer most. I liked this because I could take my time, and take the quiz at a convient time for me. This is very nice. I think having a web cite is an excellent idea and was very helpful. I enjoyed the class and the use of the use of this web site very much. This was unique from any other class I have ever taken.

I liked the idea of a webct but I think that the bulletin board, was to much because a lot of the time I did not enjoy other people reading what I wrote
