COMMENTS
What did you like best about the curriculum? Least?
1. Once I learned to trust the Course Materials page include everything, it was great. If that had been verbalized in the beginning it would have helped.
2. Using the computer for posting papers and class discussions on discussion board. It a good way of comunication with all class members and should be used when possible.
3. This was a great course, in it helped to set some goals fot the next few years. I really took a look at am I head in the right direction.
4. The flow was good
5. I like the manor that Business Research is conducted-in that it builds from one class to the next. This makes sense to OLD brains.
