Suggestions for improvement or additional comments:
The use of videos was very helpful because they would reiterate a concept, which made the course fun and very informative.
None.

You can use the concepts in real life. You don't have to open a book to see the ideas come to life. All you have to do is be around other people.


The videotapes were very effective at illustrating the concepts


all manners of learning were used, and since i am a visual learner, the videos helped me to succeed at learning the material


Great teacher!!!! He was always willing to answer any question I had about the class, as well as the assignments . The instructor was available during office hours and many times outside of office hours. He never hesitated to stop what he was working to help me or just give advice on decisions about graduate school. DR. WHATLEY IS NOT A HARD TEACHER TO TALK TO DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!1


I found the online quizzes and the study guides to be very helpful in preparing for the exams. I enjoyed doing the reaction paper and the group project. The course was very interesting and several different instructional methods were used. I enjoyed the videos and the power points were also good. I also liked hearing about all of the studies that were relevant to what we were learning about.
I didn't like that on the reaction paper, you took off a point for something small, and one point is really four points, because there are only 25 possible points. So if you made three tiny mistakes you have already lost your A.
It was a great course, probably the most interesting one I've taken so far. It was just great all around; I don't think it could be improved.
I loved the video clips. They were very helpful. It made it easier to relate the material to something, as well as easier to remember.
The message boards because no one used them.
