This presentation was a clear and thorough walk through of course components
covering discussion boards, grading, exams, etc. It would be extremely useful to
students new to the world of on-line classes.

Based on this presentation, what do you consider to be this instructors strengths?

Tremendous organizational skills, left little to the imagination (a good thing!). Well
synced with the structure of the course as it will be portrayed in Blackboard.

Based on this presentation, what do you consider to be this instructors

weaknesses?
No apparent deficits in this presentation. Instructors style was professional as well
as warm and approachable.

Describe the students response to the instructor.

If I were a student I would be grateful for the presentations ability to erase a lot of
ambiguity in my mind. This would particularly true in an intro class. Many
students who otherwise might flounder about attempting to make sense of a
syllabus, exams, etc. would find this a useful electronic course manual!

Describe the instructors mannerisms (positive and negative) when presenting

information.
Instructor was calm and not hurried. Clear annunciation and a professional style,
this combined with friendly tone were hallmarks of the presentation.

Additional comments you have for the instructor.

Heather, a superb job. I chose a simpler voice over PP technique, but this is a
nicer format. The structural aesthetics of the Adobe style is truly student friendly
and would likely receive very positive feedback from a class.
