Comments
This course was very interesting. The instructor did a good job of facilitating our class, however the amount of reading and research required was overwhelming. I found I could not complete the reading each week and my work was less then my best because of it.
This was a wonderful class and Dr. Bolender was an excellent professor. I have actually been encouraged to go on a mission through church. The study of other cultures was an eye opening experience that was life altering. Thanks again.
The instructor is very good.
This instructor was very helpful. He went out of his way to help and actually provided feedback on how to correct errors.
This course was an unbelievable journey that I am happy to have embarked upon.
I think classes should be a little cheaper. And or have more grants and scholarships for the students.
I felt that the instructor was very knowledgeable in the subject, but he did not provide enough feedback during discussions in order for me to understand the subject better. While Ashford Online is an accelerated program I felt that the instructor provided too many reading assignments to complete in one week! I am currently taking my third class with Ashford and what I would like to see is the instructors participating more in the discussion boards!
The weekly reading assingments were a little large, I guess i do understand since so much info had to be crammed into a 5 week period, but at times it seemed daunting.
