Comments:

This was an excellent course. I have learned so much about current technological changes. Ray Schroeder is an extraordinary teacher. Through his thoughtful responses to work and quick answers to questions, you can really tell he cares about his students and loves what he is teaching. I wish all teachers were as dedicated as him.

I believe Ray Schroeder is one of the ‘anchors’ at UIS, especially for online learners who need a place to land. His expertise of online technology gives a student the confidence they need to succeed. His kind, patient remarks and feedback promote learning and discovery. Ray Schroeder is such a professional in his teaching style! Even by utilizing a short, simple syllabus, he attains the same results of his students as others who require numerous writing assignments and exams. I learned more in this course than I have in many online courses at UIS. Ray Schroeder is an asset that UI and UIS had better maintain and promote. He deserves it.

==

Course Material – Exceptional well organized and presented in a clear and understandable nature. Time required is proportional to credit level of the course. Course was a joy to take – and I learned a lot more than I thought I would.

==

I can only assume that I am getting an A. There were no grades returned for the homework.

==

The teacher was helpful the few times that I needed him. The coursework was well-planned and easy to follow.
