EVOC 518 course evaluation by scholar Phil Fournier

1. Organization
of information in the E-TEXT: I found
the e-text easy to follow and well organized, though I had a lot of trouble
logging on to the website where the e-text is located, due to trouble with
Microsoft XP service pack 2.
2. Directions
provided for each assignment: I found the assignments clear and easy to follow,
even without attending class. I was able
to complete the entire course by distance learning.
3. Examples
provided for each assignment: This e-text’s examples, though not as
entertaining as Fred Fudrucker underwater basket
weaving stuff, were generally very helpful. They are not included with every assignment,
but since I already took EVOC 501, I had a pretty good idea of what was
expected.
4. How
valuable the assignments were: I found the writing assignments to be very
helpful, particularly the lesson plans, WR7.
Actually, all of the assignments were a learning experience for me,
though I at first wasn’t sure there was much use to the discipline standards of
WR4, which seemed not applicable towards the adults that I teach in community
college. But, I realize that many,
perhaps even most of the EVOC scholars teach in ROP programs with high school
students.
5. I
liked the exercise of putting together all of the elements of a course. It actually made me wish I was really
teaching the course I prepared for during the 518 class. Unfortunately, I have not even been offered
the job of teaching that class and I’m not sure I could teach it as it is a
day-time class.
6. My
only suggestion for a change relates to my frustration with logging on the e-text. I had no difficulty last quarter when the
files for e-text were on the actual e-text website.
