| Overall, I thought that the course was very beneficial, especially
the part that I learned about research. I liked having the videos as part
of the class because they made the course more interesting and easier to
relate to the book.
|
Did not use for my course. Only used the website for the information
on the syllabus and class information and assignments. |
More information on research, including data and APA style. |
This course was a good course to have in our curriculum. Dr. Whatley
was always quick to give us feedback. He offers his help and expertise.
I feel that I learned a great deal in his class. Dr. Whatley was always
prepared, and he encouraged class participation. |
| It was a good course with a lot of interaction among class members.
That is something our cohort had not experienced before. |

Maybe, the course material could have been covered more indepth. However,
I realize the idea was to expose us to a wide variety of psych philosophy. |
The videos were great. I think some of them have made a lasting impression
on me. |
| Overall, I think the course deserves an "A" grade. The reading assignments
were appropriate for the course and the instructor did a very good job
leading discussions and presenting material to the class. I wish that we
had taken this course earlier in the program so that I would have had a
better understanding of the theories available for use in a theoretical
framework. |
The sample proposal was somewhat helpful. However, I must say that
I was less than impressed with the quality of the paper. Also, the proposal
checklist helped in writing my proposal. Some of the other sites were useful
as well. |
I would like to have utilized the website in meeting the course requirements.
It would have been nice if we had not had to drive to Valdosta every Saturday.
We might have posted discussion responses and sent our papers via email.
Although the class discussions were livley and I did enjoy the video clips,
driving to Valdosta every Sat after working a full week was extremely tiring.
I think that the university must utilize available technology to a greater
degree in order to make their programs more attractive to potential students. |
I appreciate the manner in which the instructor responded to individual
students and to the class as a whole. While some instructors assign grades
that reflect personal preferences toward individuals, this instructor apparently
assigns grades based on the quality of work. May he continue to engage
in this practice. |
| Interesting, relevant |
different perspectives other than those presented in the text |
discuss the points in the text a little more closely |
quite possibly the highlight of the doctoral program |
| Very well taught. Social Pychology is a new subject to me. You provided
a good overview of the topic plus help with research. You were always available
to help and provide quick feedback. You varied the methods of instruction
in a way that held my interest. Thanks! |
I should have used this more; however, it was a good resource. |
A clearer description of just what social psy is and more empahsis
on application to our fields. |
Thanks for a great experience! |
| The textbook was terrible. The saturday morning meetings were very
informative. I wasn't impressed with several of the videos(Seinfeld in
particular) but others were excellent. I don't think doing the research
paper helped at all. Even trying to look at the course from a broadening
your horizons viewpoint, I don't believe the course provided any meaning
full information. I might be proved wrong in the future but I don't believe
so. With that said, I have to say that I did find the saturday morning
content and comments interesting. It is always worthwhile (well, almost
always), to hear others viewpoints and try to understand differing points
of view. |

| It was an interesting course |
The website helped me to understand some of the requirments better
and it gave me a better understanding of the readings that were required. |

| The course was well-designed |
The sections on the subject matter were enjoyable. I used
them as supplementary material for each chapter. |
N/A |
Instructor was accessible, which I feel is important. |
The topics covered in the class were both timely and appropriate.
I felt the proposal was one giant guessing game with very little direction
given by
the instructor. |
The website was helpful. More help for the proposal would have
been
beneficial. |
A little more help on the proposal would be helpful.
I recommend you keep the in-class routine the same. |
Dr. Whatley was always well prepared for each lessons. The lectures
were knowledge based and always sprinkled with humor. I do feel, however,
more help should have been provided for
the proposal. |
