3. What did you like least about your online course experience?
|
| Professor is a little misleading about due dates. For example, assignment is posted due
Wednesday however he sends out announcements saying due by tonight (Monday). |
| I actually don't have much negative feedback for this class. |
| the zero tolerance for late work policy. I understand why it's in place, but
I think what if there was an emergency... thankfully it never factored for
me, but it just makes me wonder... this is just a hypothetical pondering, I
have no complaints about this course. |
| nothing |
| Nothing |
| This class was very enjoyable. There was nothing I didn't like. |
| N/A |
| We only met face-to-face four times throughout the semester. I wish it would have been maybe a
few times more. |
| I loved everything about this class and Teacher. |
| Using Laulime, the copy and paste method never worked for me. |
| Everything was pretty good. The teacher answered any questions I had, and he brought us to a classroom to teach us the important concepts. Sometimes, I felt like I was being held back, but that was probably because I was misplaced in the course. |
| N/A |
| sometimes contacting the professor took awhile for reply via email. It would be nice to get a reply right away. |
| he is a really good instructor, it would have been better if he had more than four classes a semester.
at least two more classes would be nice |
| i didnt like pasting my eassy on laulima it would unformat it causing my grade to lower |
| N/A |
| nothing |
| I disliked the fact that I couldn't get immediate help. I don't mind writing
papers but I hate doing a paper based on research. Although it may be simple
for others, I just couldn't do the research and citing in my paper. When I
asked the teacher for help, I had to refer to the module. Although I viewed
the module, I still have unanswered questions and have to wait for the
teacher to get back to me. I understand that the teacher has many students
and papers to grade, therefore, it takes a while before he can reply to me. |
| Sometimes I couldn't just sit here and focus on the assignment. It is sometimes easier for me to sit
in a class and work with others to understand certain things. But in the end I completed what
needed to be done. |
| Nothing. |
| I wish his hybrid English course could be during the day! |
| For this particular class, I didn't have anything that I didn't like about
it. My professor was most helpful, I learned so much.He really helped me to
understand how to write a essay the proper way. Having been out of school for
over 30 years. I wish all my online experiences were as good as this
particular class was. |
| Nothing |
| I wish we could've had a little more class time to go over the essays given. Maybe a day or two more during the course. |
| N/A |
| The fact that the only way to contact the instructor was through email and it
was very inconvenient between the teacher and student(s). |
|
|
4. What did you like most about your online course experience?
|
| Flexible and organized. I liked that Professor Urbanik provided us with great materials for this
course. His video tutorials and sideshows were on point. |
| Having a Hybrid class made things very convenient and easy. I enjoyed working
at my own pace and the professor always had good feedback and responded to e-
mails in a timely manner. |
| I loved everything about this class. Mr. Urbaniak was excellent! He always
responded to my emails and questions and was always helpful and
friendly/nice, never made me feel stupid or like a nuisance. I love the
flexibility and that everything was laid out very clearly with no surprises. |
| time to do the work |
| I enjoyed Mr. Urbaniak's method of teaching. He was fair and thoughtful. I appreciate his quick responses. |
| The ease of online availability. |
| This being a hybrid style class that met 4 times, I liked the convenience of being able to do work at
my leisure meeting assignment deadlines and still having met with the professor a handful of times
to touch bases. |
| It gave me the freedom to do my work, but with the responsibility to do my work on my own. |
| I liked that it was easy and understandable for me. |
| I loved that it was a hybrid class. Meeting and hearing lectures helped my success in learning. |
| Saving of drive time. |
| I really liked that the teacher was very encouraging. He was positive and constructive. |
| Four class meetings makes it a flexible class and easy to work with other classes. |
| I liked how class was convient being online and having some face to face meetings. |
| it was really easy turn in assignments on time, and if i had more classes like this in pearl city it
would be much more convenient. |
| module helped alot |
| Professor James Urbaniak |
| That all the assignments and what was expected of us was well explained. |
| I like how Mr. Urbaniak explains on how to write a good paper using the
colors of the stop light. It makes total sense. It actually made it easier
to write a paper. Anyone can pass his class as long as you do the work. |
| Our professor made something like tutorial videos which helped me stay more focused. |
| I liked that I was able to do my work when I wanted to and I didn't have to go to class everyday. |
| Urbaniak is able to help students understand the material and help students for future courses
that uses the material we learn in class. |
| Again for this class it was my best online experience ever. |
| Learning an easier way to write essays. It will definitely come in handy when taking other classes. |
| I liked how everything was organized, there were examples available if you were stuck. Also all assignments were viewable a day or so after you turned it in so you can check your feedback and fix mistakes if needed. |
| I enjoyed the topics that we had to write about. Also the course was not confusing. |
| I didn't have to go to class everyday. |

8. Ten years from now I'll probably remember this course most by ...
|
| Red yellow green!!! |
| How to properly integrate quotes into my paragraphs and turning one paragraph
into an essay. |
| this was my first entrance back into "school" after about a 10 year hiatus, I
was very nervous and worried about whether or not I could adapt, so I am so
glad I took this class first, it was great! I was never overwhelmed or left
hung out to dry, Mr. Urbaniak always helped and made things very easy and
clear to understand and get and now I feel like, Ok I can do this, I can
write college level papers. So I'm very glad I took this course with this
teacher, I'll always remember it as my first and Positive stepping stone back
into college. |
| i honestly dont think ill remember it |
| The SUTW guidline to writing. |
| The writing format |
| Professor and the format used to teach essay writing. I believe I will be able to use the materials
learned in all of my future college classes. |
| Using the things I learned with my students one day. |
| The way I was learned to write an essay in this class. The SUTW paragraph, rough draft, then final. It
was really helpful! |
| The green light, yellow light and red light method which helps me with my essays. |
| the step up to writing method. It was exactly what I need some structure to my writing. |
| I will remember his writing system of coloring the different sentences in a paragraph, and that you only use one quote per paragraph. These were both new ideas to me, and they were quite interesting. |
| The essay writing format. SUTW. |
| the step up to writing soution |
| how i was able to learn so much about essay structure, and how professors grade papers. |
| how easy it was |
| Facebook Assignment! |
| SUTW!!! |
| using the SUTW paragraphing. |
| See the colors that our paragraphs had to be. |
| Color coding our papers, each color help me understand when and where things should go! |
| I will probably remember the method in which my professor used to teach us. |
| SUTW and, Red, Yellow, Green |
| The way ill write an essay that uses quotes. I also learned how to shorten my essays instead of blab on. |
| The color coding. |
| The color coding of writing. |

14. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
|
| Very knowledgable and helpful! |
| He was a good professor. He had clear and through instructions, sent us
reminder e-mails about assignments, gave good feedback, and replied to e-
mails quickly. |
| He is GREAT! I cannot say enough how grateful I am that I chose this as my
first step back into college. I love how he set everything up with lots of
visual aids and time to complete assignments, that everything was laid out
and there were no hidden surprises and he always answered my emails and
questions and was always kind and helpful. I loved this course and am so glad
I took it with this teacher. |
| good instructor |
| Great teacher! |
| He is an excellent teacher. |
| Great teacher, made the 4 classes go by very quickly. His approach to teaching this English 100
class was great. I felt very comfortable taking this class with the tools given to get assignments
done. Great professor!!!!! |
| Great teacher, keeps you excited about writing by breaking it all down, making it super easy to understand. |
| Excellent! |
| I give him a 100% because of the time he takes to help his students and how he tries really hard to bring a smile to everyone's face. |
| A+ |
| Great class for someone with not a lot of time. |
| good...friendly |
| he was great and i had no problems with him. i will definitely recommend this class to all my peers. |
| dont fire him...he's cool |
| Mr. Urbaniak is a great teacher. 99% of the time, he was there when I needed
him and quick to respond. But, the one time I needed him and asked to meet
up in person (because I need to shown how to do it in order to grasp it), he
referred me to the module. Although I didn't get the help I needed at that
time, I still say Mr. Urbaniak is a great teacher. He explains well and
usually responds as soon as he can. |
| he is a great professor. He should continue teaching the way he does. |
| He is a really good teacher. He teaches you in a way that you will be able to remember how to do
the work. |
| Awesome instructor!!! He helps students understand the material. |
| Mr Urbaniak is a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher. He is very clear in
expectations of his students and explains every assignment very clearly. He
is always available for help and I really feel that his goal is to help all
of his students to succeed in their ability to write a proper paper. I wish
all teachers both online and in class had his approach to teaching.He
provides all the content needed to complete each assignment and makes sure we
understand what we are doing through visuals and examples. |
| Good. He makes writing essays much easier. |
| He's a super funny guy and gets straight to the point with essays without making it seem like a pain in the butt to do. Even though they still are. |
| he is a great teacher, happy that i took my first online class from him. Im not scared to take online class anymore. |
| He was good and he made the course very enjoyable. What I liked most about
Urbaniak was that he was very attentive towards his students, friendly, and
there was never a dull moment(except when the librarian came in). |

| Laulima was not my friend in turning in my final papers!! Need to make Laulima more effective. |

Thank You Very Much!

4. Which aspects of the course were most valuable?
|
| Mr.Urbaniak taught me alot in such a short period of time. I enjoyed the SUTW exercisises we did. That really helped with my writing skills. |
| SUTW is the most aspect that help me a lot to improve my writing skills. Its
so amazing and easy how the teacher taught us to start our writing through
this format and later turn into a whole paragraph. |
| The balance of the freedom we had being that the course was online, and the
amount of face to face meetings we participated in. I think it's a perfect
balance to make sure we're up to speed with the course, while excelling at
our own pace online at the same time. |
| the SUTW format and the fact that most college students are full time employees and ths class is basic,easy but you still come out with the knowledge. I really enjoyed this class |
| The step up to writting technique that I've learned from this course and how we use it in our writting assignments. |
| The aspects of this course was the STUW Paragraphs. They were very helpful. |
| the modules!! |
| Being able to discuss with other classmates on an assignment topic so that we get an idea of what to write about. Also, the SUTW paragraphs made it easier for me to use one paragraph and expand it into four paragraphs. |
| The most valuable thing i learned in this course was the color coding system to set up an essay. For me it was so easy to actually sit down and put my thoughts onto paper that translated into an essay format. I never thought i could ever understand that part about writing (putting my thoughts down into an essay format) because this will be my third time trying to pass english 100. Mr.Urbaniak gave me those tools and confidence of writing in a way that i could understand. |
| I would say that the SUTW process and the class forums were most valuable because we had more than enough time to complete our assignments and the SUTW method made my essays much more easier to create. |
| I think the constant contact and communication. The feedback from the teacher was very helpful as well. |
| it being an online class |
| James has a simple system to write a proper paragraph.
He was always willing to answer questions and that really made a difference in my experience with this class. |
| I like the whole hybrid online/in class thing-- it was great to have the be
able to meet in person and also the flexibility of having most of the course
online. Also, Mr. Urbaniak gave tools we need to make college level essays. |
| Step Up To Writing Teaching Technique |
| His style of making us do a forum, a SUTW paragraph, a rough draft, then a final draft. The process
was very effective for me. |
| I like the instructors teaching methods and the stop light system, really
helpful |
| I really liked the usage of the Forum section of Laulima. It was a great way of keeping us focused on
our assignment while helping us come up with ideas at the same time. |

18. What did you like most about your online course experience?
|
| My teacher was very responsive to my questions and answered them in a timely manner. He was well prepped/organized. I enjoyed this online course and will recommend to everyone that needs to take English 100 in the future. |
| The online course is a better way of learning than inside a classroom. More
than that I think is because the way the teacher organize things online for
students to have a easier way to learn. It saves my time to manage it for
school, home, and work. The forum is a great source to the student to give us
idea on the next easy that we are going to write. I like this class very
well. |
| James' personality was very warm and friendly, because of that his approach to writing
wasn't intimidating. As a student that's horrified when it comes to writing papers, I completed
this class with a lot of confidence in my writing because james' approach and attitude was
very sincere and positive. |
| The sense of independence. Being able to work at our own pace is a positive.
You don't have a teacher hounding you, but at the same time you know what is
to be done. This course tests your responsibility, which is also a life
virtue that must be taught. This course is also good for people who can't
take criticism very well. When our essays are graded, instead of hearing them
from their teacher, they could just read it online at their own leisure in
their home. |
| I had time to work 40+ hours a week, spend time with my children and find out what English was about. i really like this class it was simple and it taught me almost everything i had to know, at least the basics. Im so pro |
| That I could do work ahead of time and turn it in before the due date. |
| What I like most is that the assignments were posted up so I knew when it was due which was very helpful. |
| great feedback |
| I liked the dicussions forums and SUTW paragraphs. |
| I liked that i could contribute my full thoughts on the discussion table through the forum assignments and not have to hold back on any of my thoughts because i was too afraid to speak up in a regular class. |
| I enjoyed our class forums the most because I was able to hear everyone else's opinion on each subject we were assigned to. I gave me a better insight on what I was about to write. |
| I liked the freedom and flexibility. It didn't interfere with my work schedule as well as with my personal life. I have also decided to take more classes online. |
| Class discussions |
| I had the freedom to complete the material at my own pace and when I did need help, James always responded promptly. |
| It was mixed online and in class. I liked being able to do both. Having
online course, allowed me the flexibility I needed to take care of other
things in my life: work and taking care of grandmother. It's a very valuable
thing for people who aren't just full time students. |
| Being able to go to work and complete my assignments at my own pace. |
| Flexibility |
| Ability to do course work on my own time, the quick responses from other
classmates as well as the instructor |
| It gave me the freedom to do my work when I was available in my own time. |
|
|
19. What did you like least about your online course experience?
|
| Maybe one more face to face meeting with the class would have had me up tp power but it's not needed if I was more on it. |
| none |
| There really isn't anything I would change, but if I had to choose something,
it would be the amount of face to face meetings that there are. I think there
should be more. I enjoyed them, and it gives the students an insight to some
of the questions they may have. There are some things that are explained
better in person. |
| mothing |
| Getting to know the other students better. I only know them by their names and not by their true character or self. |
| N/A |
| forums |
| What I liked least was that I could've done better if I stayed focused more. |
| nothing, i liked everything about it. |
| I liked my online course overall because it was convenient for my school schedule and my time management. There was really nothing to dislike. |
| Everything was great. |
| I think im more of an face to face learner but i liked the flexibility of the
class |
| The fact that I was expected to respond to the posts of my classmates in a productive way. I understand the base for forum dicussions (constructive critisism and peer review), but I think my classmates are liberal morons and the political nature of some of our assignments made me hope none of them ever reproduce. |
| Mmmm. I feel like Laulima had some kinks to work out: minor things. I
couldn't ever utilize the save work option (perhaps it was my computer). The
Laulima session seemed to expire too quickly if I was completing long
projects or multiple projects (led to me re-doing work... along with bein g
upset). |
| n/a |
| There wasn't always internet connection readily availabile whenever I needed it |
| I got behind, and lost track of some assignments. |

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...
|
| Best class I've taken seriously. I don't enjoy English at all. I struggled in High school and my last English 100 class but Mr.Urbaniak has made it easier for me to comprehend/understand what is needed to complete an essay. |
| This course is a good course for students. LCC should keep the teacher and
the course. |
| An awesome choice that I made. After taking this course, it makes me hope
that there are other online courses that I can take as well. |
| totally loved the class best experience ive had. more classes should be like this one simple, less stressful and you actually learned something by the end of the semester. |
| I really liked this course and how it works. I would want to see more online classes in more subjects, but at the same time I also like to be in a classroom setting conversing more with other students. My overall evaluation for this class was very interesting for me, I'd say I would recomend this class for students with a busy schedule and for the type of students who likes interacting with other classmates. |
| AWESOME, best English class ever. I learned a lot |
| A |
| A great online course with a great instructor. |
| awesome, i should've taken online courses my first semester of college. |
| My overall evaluation of this course is that it is a fun and enjoyable course if you're willing to learn. It is convenient and Mr. Urbaniak is a very helpful and understanding teacher. |
| I would have to say that I really enjoyed and liked this class. I got a lot out of it, and would highly reccomend this online course to others. A+ |
| There should be more online courses |
| It was an excellent experience and I'm glad I had it. James is a wonderful instructor and he deserves a raise... maybe a blow job. What's this school's take on student/professor relationships?
(I'm joking, but honestly, I give him and A+) |
| It was awesome! Really. The hybrid option is rad. Mr. Urbaniak is a great
professor (and funny). I would recommend this instructor and class to
everyone and especially to those who are working full time and who have lots
of commitments outside of school. |
| A+ |
| I enjoyed James' way of teaching this online course. I like that he was on it with returning our work
and with sending us reminder emails before each assignment was due (VERY HELPFUL). |
| The course as well as the instructor was very helpful |
| 10/10. Very enthusiastic about his class and definitely knows his coarse content. |
