Comments
Some of the assignments did not match the coursework.
Dr. Bolender was by far one of the most encouraging and reachable instructors, I have the pleasure of studying with. The research was understandable, re-tainable, and engaging. Dr. Bolender is one of the finest, intellectual instructors Ashford has to offer.
Professor Bolender was very helpful and passionate in his work. I think that he is a wonderful instructor given the content of the course.
This class had much information that was tough to cover in five weeks, however due to the subject it seemed reasonable. I wish that there was just an extra week. Completing courses during the holidays is always tough.
I found this class very difficult to really understand what i was supposed to get out of it. The book was rather boring and only talked about the same group of people making it even more dry and not all the information really matched what the assignment was asking. With limited resources such as asking for scholarly articles that one would have to pay for is also a hinderance to good research. I definetly did not enjoy this course one bit. Have a good day

Dr.Bolender, is an awesome instructor. When you email with questions or concerns, you get a reply back within 6-8hrs. The first day of class you know exactly what his expectation are. Thank you.
He seemed very enthusiastic about the class, and that helped with my interest, along with the timely feedback.
