| Ron Bolender is an excellent instructor. The one issue I did have withthe course was the amount of reading. I believe that it was too much for such a short time period. |
| Dr. Bolender is more readily available than some instructors, and his response is faster. I think that he is a great teacher, and I hope that I have more classes with him. Ashford continues to exceed my expectations. I am grateful to be on this great adventure. |
| Ronald was one of the best instructors that I have had in Ashford thus far. He challenged me on my final paper and that was very encouraging to me even though at first it seemed impossible. But when I started to take his challenge I found myself learning more on the techniques on finding research. I hope I have Ronald in another class that I will be taking in Ashford. |
