more
- Very well put together, very enjoyable for English, I like they way
it was realted to technology.
Student 13
- Laurie had a great way of incorporating current events and other topics
we were really interested in. She also used a wide range of mediums
for communication to help get her point across and to help improve our
writing.
- It was ger fist time teaching, so at first she seemed nervous, but
that subsided as the semester went on.
- I enjoyed this course. At first I reallly wasn't into the selected
print material but then that improved.
- Laurie is a good teacher who can get students to look at something
in many different ways.
Student 14
- Really excited about everything - which makes me want to be forgiving,
understanding, tries hard to find interest for entire class
- Soft voice and with poor architecture of room - it was hard to hear
her at times.
- Very open. A good introductory class into college writing and comprehension.
Student 15
- She is a very calm teacher. She never gets out of hand. Probably why
no one in the class does. She is also lots of fun and gets discussions
fired up.
- No, not at all.
- This is my favorite course that I've taken this year.
- Laurie is a teacher that gets everything accomplished, but we still
have fun.
Student 16
- Her friendliness and openness to new ideas and willingness to listen.
- No.
- Better than any other English course I've had.
- I think that I might have learned more in more of a lecture atmosphere,
but I believe that I wull remember what I did learn longer this way.
Student 17
- Laurie is a great teacher. She is very understanding and helpful.
Whenever I had a question regarding the class, I would e-mail her and
get a response very quickly. That is one quality that most instructors
don't have.
- No
- I am not really too interested in hypertext or our book "Cyberreader,"
so the readings weren't enjoyable and although I feel that my website
won't be the best, the experience is what matters and I am happy to
be learning a bit about them
Student 18
- Her laid-back approach to teaching
- No
- I think Laurie did a great job in reaching students by giving us a
freedom in the classroom that you don't find many other places.
