The strengths of this course were:	The weaknesses of this course were:	Suggestions for improvement or additional comments:
Proper procedure in developing a good research paper. This will benefit me throughout the rest of my college years and in my future career that will involve writing and publishing research articles.	None.	He can discuss with the students that writing good research papers takes time and practice and that the first shot at writing one should not be graded too strictly.
I think the most valuable aspect of this course was the way Dr. Whatley made us work to find the answers. He never just gave us the answer. I think that is really important because it makes the students take complete responsibility for the class and the grade. This definitely made the class more challenging and I feel like I really earned my grade. Dr. Whatley was always available and willing to answer many questions.	N/A	N/A
Dr. Whatley was available outside of class to help students whenever needed. Dr. Whatley also made it easy to communicate w/him inside and outside of class.	N/A	N/A
The web site was very helpful with projects and assignments given in class. Lecture outlines were very clear and precise.	N/A	More grading is needed for this course. I feel that the "big" assignment aka the paper needed to be graded as we progressed to finish it.
N/A	N/A	Do more than stand up at the front of the class and restate what is in the written notes on the television screen. Teach the class instead of just telling students what to do. About 40% of the material presented in lecture will not be found in the book. About 50% of the course is "hands on" with computer work. Were you absent those days?
All aspects were valuable.	There was nothing done in this course that was not valuable in one way or another.	There is nothing that could be done to improve this course. It is an excellent course with an excellent instructor that will be of much value in future courses.
I learned a lot from doing the paper.	N/A	N/A
The lectures and outlines were very helpful for understanding the material. The video segments were also useful in explaining concepts in more detail. Dr. Whatley was extremely helpful with the research paper, helping us do a section at a time instead of throwing the whole thing at us at once.	The online homework was confusing at times, and not always clear as to what was wanted.	Clarify instructions for online work and have a clearer system for grading.
The APA formatting will inevitably be valuable to me throughout my career in psychology. The majory of the principles taught will also be of a great help and will continue to help me understand psychological studies that I may come in contact with during the course of my life.	Just about everything was valuable.	Sometimes the material was not very clear, but usually the instructor was able to clarify it. Other times he seemed to give an explanation that used concepts that made the issue even harder to understand. It is hard to use "laymen's terms" when explaining these concepts because they are often not to be understood by layme, but those types of terms and explanations would surely prove valuable.
The most valuable aspect of this course was Dr. Whatley's williningness to help students. If even I had a question or problem concerning issues in class, I knew that I could either make an appointment with him or simply drop by his office for a better understanding of the material. He takes the time needed to ensure all questions are answered!	Least valuable...I can't really think of anything least valuable. Everything offered to the students was needed in being prepared for this course. Online material provided by Dr. Whatley was very necessary and needed, and the book provided back-up and further information for the things we learned in the classroom.	Honestly, the only advice I have to Dr. Whatley is to keep up the good work. It is really nice to have a professor who cares about the students he/she teaches, to have a rapore in and outside of the classroom. I never once felt dumb asking a question in class, and never felt bad going to Dr. Whatley's office afterwards if I didn't understand something. He's made me realize that Psychology is what I want to do in life! This course, I believe, holds true to the "make-it-or-break-it" label students give it. It demands a lot of your time. But it is worth it. You must give time to projects and assignments you want to do well on. In the end, your hard work WILL pay off!!!
Dr. Whatley was available to help students outside of class. The paper will definitely help in future psychology classes.	Some of the assignments were to difficult for the students, because they were not taught everyting that the assignments asked. Very heavy workload, which caused the students to be very stressed. I agree with what you infer; the course could use a lab.	The instructor and the department should realize that a statistics course is the only prerequisite for the class and the students are not taught everything. When he or she first comes into the class, he or she is supposed to be familiar with SPSS and everyone was not taught statistics on the computer. In addition, the course might want to be extended to a full year besides one semester. If you were having trouble, then you should have come by my office for clarification like other students did.
The instructor's website was most helpful, especially with the paper for this class. The site was well designed and easy to navigate and had all the information for all aspects of the course summarized in a way you could understand.	Everything was used was used for a purpose and it all fell into the course design.	This should be a two semester course. In one course you learn all the concepts from the book and lectures and then you apply those concepts and write an experimental paper in the second part. It was really overwhelming to have to learn the material from the book and study for quizzes here and in other classes AND having to write a paper while trying to wrap your brain around something you just learned.
