SUMMARY

In Fall 2012, students were asked to complete a course evaluation at the conclusion of their

respective classes. Course evaluations are used so that the Division of Educational Outreach can

better address students’ needs and make curricular adjustments if needed. This report contains

the results of both Personal enrichment and Continuing Education classes. Descriptive results for

this report are divided into overarching specifications as noted by Personal Enrichment (i.e.,

Leisure Activities, Business and Finance, Language Arts, Health and Fitness, Home Computing)

and Continuing Education (i.e., Business and Industry, Computers and Technology, Legal)

course code prefixes, and according to survey items. In addition to descriptive stats, verbatim

responses to the open-ended responses are also included. Though the number of students that

completed the survey is reported, this does not imply it is equivalent to the number of students

that were actually enrolled in a course. Thus, a response rate is not available.

In sum, a total of 617 evaluations were completed for Personal Enrichment and 214 completed

for Continuing Education. The majority of Personal Enrichment evaluations came from students

in Leisure Activities classes (n= 236) while the majority of Continuing Education evaluations

came from Computers and Technology classes (n=119).

When students were asked how they heard about the classes, majority of Personal Enrichment

enrollees heard about them from a catalog mailed to their home/work (57.9%) while 42% of

Continuing Education attendants did so from the UNLV Continuing Education Website.

In addition, the average overall rating of the courses were 4.75 (Personal Enrichment) and 4.68

(Continuing Education), and the average rating for the instructors were 4.80 (Personal

Enrichment) and 4.75 (Continuing Education).

Lastly, students of both programs were asked to provide additional comments regarding their

educational experiences. Each program section contains a table with a generated thematic

category that students’ responses fell into. These codes are listed next to the corresponding

verbatim response. Responses varied, yet students offered ideas for class improvement or

logistical improvements, reported immense satisfaction with their instructor or knowledge

growth they received, emphasized particular course materials or more class time, or reported a

general yet positive comment.

and learning and helping each other.

A great instructor and has outstanding interpersonal skills. She

makes the class fun and informative.

Carl answered all our questions and really took his time to make

sure we understood. Thanks!

Content

Commentary during the bus rides between sites was helpful. Site

selection was excellent. Cost of trip is very reasonable.

Cooking portion at end of the class was AWESOME!

Great food! Loved all the additional tips and tidbits

Fabulous presentation, really informative and found to be way

beneficial. Instructor was great--good fun and really made the

session!

I wanted more than pasta demonstration. I also wished I could

participate more instead of just watch

It was a great trip. We especially like going to Walpi.

Kevin's information sheets were very interesting, good books and

videos. Michele was very organized.

Learned many things and seen things that we heard of but never in

our lifetimes expected to see.

List on printed material--optional evening architecture

A lot of repetition from summer vegetable class.

General positive

5th class with Jamie. Still happy!

Teacher was extremely helpful.

Jenny is amazing!

Love these day trips with naturalist, botanist, geologist, etc.

Love this class! Never thought I'd be able to do watercolors.

Loved the course. Can't wait for the next one.

Instructor satisfaction

A gifted teacher. Articulate and patient.

A great teacher. She explains how and the models "how". She has

relevant handouts and the class exceeded my expectations.

An awesome teacher. Very knowledgeable and very good at

explaining everything. Highly recommend this class.

Chef Kincaid was entertaining and funny. Learned some interesting

things.

Chef was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot even though I have

taken many cooking classes! Bravo to the chef!

Course was great--very knowledgeable and helpful instructor

I enjoyed this class tremendously! I appreciate Gabbie's win-win,

fun style of teaching. Thank you!

Michael Frazier was very helpful with everything.

Michael’s knowledge and patience are fantastic. I will return.

Enjoyed the class. Very clear and helpful instruction

Extremely well organized and paced. Michelle was the perfect

organizer. Kevin was able and taught us so much at every

opportunity.

Gabbie is a great instructor and I have really enjoyed the class.

Gabbie is the best teacher I’ve had. She has taught me how to think

artistically - I am a huge fan of her!

Jamie is very thorough with all her teaching and a great instructor to

learn from. Will definitely be back for more classes.

Instructor

satisfaction/Information

All the stays were great and the tours were too. Would not have

changed anything. Enjoy Fred and Chris' knowledge of history and

geology. Bus needs to be cleaner. Broken bus window. William was

wonderful however your Great handing your "crisis"

Michelle, The combination of this trip met ALL my wishes. The

instructions were superb, explicit and so informative! The specific

tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly and the site met all

expectations. Thank you for granting all my wishes!

Another excellent adventure. Chris, Fred and Michelle were the

best!!! Thanks for making this such a wonderful experience

Great class and teacher. Will definitely take another class from

Jenny!

Logistics

A lot of one on one time and some people would miss out because

time would run out. Overall fun!

Could have been very satisfied except for heat which you can't help.

Did not enjoy walking downtown or the Hollyrock House location

so hot--no energy--but heat no fault of the instructors--just our bad

luck

For the most part I thought it was great. However, the driver could

have been better about picking us up and dropping us off where we

didn't have to walk as far. Also I felt picking places that were under

construction was not a good idea.

For the most part the trip was wonderful. However, I felt the bus

could have been kept cleaner (i.e. windshield, trash bag). Also, for

seniors we should either have rooms on ground floor or elevators.

Loved the trip subject material, but unfortunately the short suit was

transportation company--Bathroom issues among many others.

Otherwise, it was a great trip.

More time

Although the hat was fun to make, we weren't able to finish it in 2

classes. Either make a few more extra class sessions, or make

something easier that we can finish in 2 classes.

Needed more time

Lynne was great. I only wish the class met at least two more times

so we could really get the movements down pat.

Maybe I'm just a klutz--or maybe I need more hours of instruction

Other

Amazingly great class and instructor. I look forward to every

Saturday for the class and has helped me put back in touch with my

artistic side.

Beautiful day

Gave me the confidence to pursue my drawing interest.

I'm ready to plant, harvest and make potpourri!

I've been taking watercolors for stress relief, but also to learn the

medium. This class is very enjoyable!

Looking forward to trying to grow something and looking forward

to the herb class.

Revelation

Had a lot of experience and training in woodworking since high

school. Didn't think I would learn much, but I did.

I thought I knew how to paint with watercolors, but I found that

what I knew was not what I needed to know. I'm glad I decided to

take this course!! Great instructor!!

Covered a lot in a short time, but feel I now know what to work on

and where to start my efforts to draw.

I feel I can take an interesting photo. Now I can use other settings

instead of full auto.

I learned more than I expected to, and I feel like this class has

improved my skills greatly. I plan to take more classes with Gabbie,

and I’ve invited my mother to join me (she loves this kind of stuff.)

I'm taking two dog obedience classes at the same time. I've noticed

that my dog has learned more in this class than in the other dog

obedience class that we take at a pet store. Thank you.

Learned more than I thought I could. Teacher was great. This course

was really good for me. I was happy I took the course.

Suggestions for class

improvement

More courses during the morning

2 nights @ La Posada. Bring an astronomer and go to meteor crater

and talk about night sky. I miss having botanist along. LOVED the

railroad trip thru the back country. Would like to go on trips to

Moab & into New Mexico more.

Hollyhock House not good investment of our time. Maybe

Pasaclena, Rosewbow, would be better

Descents at church and Egypt Mus. Way, way, way too long. Would

rather have done train station. Hope there are more archi-type tours.

I would like more trips similar. Especially bus trips, I like someone

else doing the driving. Also, like travelling with a group. I would

like trips to LA clothing district and art attractions, to California

coast like Monterey, San Francisco, San Diego

It would be a good idea to have some crackers with the class. A

little impatient with students. Could have been more patient with a

student trying to open a bottle.

Just wish we could have gotten more for the money. Maybe the pet

video & also more fake dogs / cats. Hands on but not on stuffed

animals. Thanks.

Maybe provide a notebook, paper literature, book or DVD. End

course with pet CPR and first aid certificate. Thank you for being so

kind :)

Instructor was very knowledgeable about fall veg gardening. She

was able to answer a variety of gardening questions. Informative

handouts. Power point presentation was excellent.

Very good interaction with students. Utilizes common sense

Very inspirational and motivating. Plenty of ideas there

Very knowledgeable, great amount of information. Made me

think outside the box and expanded my view.

Content

Challenged me and pushed me outside of my comfort zone

while making me hungry to read more and collect.

Covered many areas, very well

Enjoyed "dirty trick" section. I can be naive so nice to have a

list to look out for.

Excellent materials and presentation. I learned so much. Thank

you!

Extensive, comprehensive information. Will need to re-take

class for all to "sink in."

Fantastic information again, great investment.

Great class and preparation. Look forward to our one on one

meeting.

More organize lesson content

Needed more information on retired person investment. Not

"getting ready for retirement" information.

Provided the exact information I was seeking and more. Loved

the presentation and enjoyed the anecdotes!

Would like more discussion rather than just going over work

book.

Content/Instructor

satisfaction

Great content-experienced instructor.

Course materials

I would like more resources that are current, social

media/marketing changes so fast some of the resources are

outdated or at least there may be more relevant info.

I'd really like more concrete resources of where to go next after

you have the idea. Post idea, how do you start a blog, site, make

the connections, etc.

General Positive

A wonderful intro class to radio and TV voice-over profession.

Would definitely recommend the class to anyone who would

like to enter into the business!

Absolutely fun and full of direct commentary--insightful and

delightful

Excellent class! So much information on such an important

topic! Thank you!

Excellent presentation.

Good information. Nice instructors.

I feel confident now in the stock market

I'm excited to get started, looking forward to her next class.

Lots of good info; can't wait for part deux! :)

Loved all the info--very relevant--would definitely take another

class offered by this instructor.

More satisfaction, very educational and helpful

Thank you for offering this class--it brings sophistication to

bibliophiles that exist where we don't live in areas with big

publishers.

The Tip Cheet instruction was worth the price of the course!

Great stories to illustrate the instruction, great resources! Thank

you!

This class FAR EXCEEDED my expectations and I am SO

glad I came. Extremely valuable information! Bobbie is a great

instructor and makes complicated subjects understandable!

Very good@ I would like Jessica to have more classes like this

one--VERY helpful.

Very helpful with the linkage of all the social media

Very informative, inspiring and candid. Helpful information

and resources.

Very interesting subject, and helpful.

Instructor satisfaction

Appeared well educated on subject. Slight humor when

appropriate. Instructor did mention class was designed for 6

hours; 3 hours felt a little rushed.

Enjoyed this course. Really like the instructor, very helpful and

I learned a lot.

Excellent course. Instructor very knowledgeable. I would take

other courses offered by this instructor and by UNLV

Great speaker. Clear, well-organized class. Good how in the

imparting of information.

Instructor well versed in many aspects of subject!

Very educational. Well-explained material.

Knowledge gained I learned so much! Excellent class!

Logistics

Parking not good!

Slide on projector screen flickers, it's distracting when looking

at the instructor. It's sporadic. 9 am - 12 pm class ended at

12:05

More time

Much more participatory--good discussion both courses should

be offered as full day to go more in depth.

A lot of great information. Need more time.

Additional time need to cover entire book. Some areas felt

rushed. Those areas may not currently pertain, but could

possibly-later.

Excellent instructors--would suggest longer timeline for such

an important area.

Good course, extended course with exact same scope would be

much more fulfilling. If offered that is the course I would like

to take in the future.

Great information. Just not enough time. Nice overview,

though.

Great information--very user-friendly--Jessica covered much

more ground than expected and is a wonderful instructor--I

wish this was a daily course so I could learn more quickly! :)

Great instructors and material; though WAY too much to cover

adequately in the time provided.

I would attend a class with more meeting days -- 4-6 weeks

If most classes run longer than the two-hour period, I would

suggest a longer time period be scheduled initially.

Make it at least a 3 session course.

Material should be covered in 3 classes, instead of 2

Need more time to cover all info, suggest 3 nights

Not long enough

There is too much material for 2 days--3 days might (?) Be

better

Too much info for 6 hours. Need more hours.

Way too much material covered in 5 1/2 hours (booked for 4

hours!)

Other

Probably take another course

This was more business orientated. I was interested in more

personal, maybe with second class I’ll see how to use this

personally.

Prereq. fulfillment Maybe ask for show of hands of who is familiar with a

stock/band discussion seemed like most participants already

had the basic knowledge. Could focus on other topics to save

time.

Suggestion for improvement

Great knowledge base! Good experience over the years. Fair

amount of repetition--could avoid that and use the extra time to

get through all the material. Could skip some of the slides.

Excellent job in putting binder of info together for us...

Suggestion--second part of notebook did not have reference

numbers on slides to follow on notebook and be able to make

notes. Too much material in too short a time.

This class should be marketed to younger people. Most of the

students were older, at or near retirement. The information

shared would benefit younger people and help them better

prepare for a financially sound retirement.

WORK PLACE BASED--was really looking or a more family

approached perspective.

both at work and daily activities.

Class suggestion

A third Spanish class--maybe one focusing on verbs and conversing.

Another continuing course would be great!

I would like to see a third class offered if there is enough interest.

I've learned a lot in this course. We'd VERY MUCH appreciate a

continuing course in conversation Spanish with the same instructor.

Michelle, call me! -Clare

Please offer a continuation of the class!

Very interested in a 3rd installment of this Spanish course. If available

I will sign up.

We need additional classes for Spanish to be available. Two classes

are not enough to learn the foundation of the Spanish language.

Would like to have a Spanish 3 class. Diane is a very patient

instructor. I enjoyed the class.

Content

Great structure, foundation, well organized. INFORMATIVE.

Incredible speaker. Really enjoyed all three sessions she had today.

Thank you!

Needed info on how to set up story prior to writing. I.e. "storyboard"

This class answered some major questions I had on how prepared I

needed to be to begin my novel. Thank you for the class and the

inspiration.

Course material

Because this is a single class, include additional worksheets

Class and material was well presented and very enjoyable. Just wish it

was a little more demanding and covered more material. Professor

was excellent. Gracias!

I think should be recommended book, because "learn French the fast

and fun way" is not the best, especially for beginners. The instructor

needs to maybe repeat the sentences more in class as a teaching

methodology for learning.

More handouts would have been nice . . . The book may cause a

retraction of the above statement.

The only problem I see was with the bathroom. I happy with the way

instructor help in class, clear, and supporting. I would like to have

more practice papers, get a better book.

Engagement

I hope we can have more classmates.

I loved this course and the instructor. I enjoyed the learning

environment and the other students as well. I really enjoyed the last

day where we talked to each other and would love to see that

incorporated into more of the classes, maybe for15 min..

Our professor, Mrs.Orgill, was engaging, fun, and very helpful. I look

forward to continuing on to Spanish 2.

Professor Lipari provides an excellent learning environment. Her

knowledge of linguistics and her inclusion of history and culture make

the course very rich. I was inspired to learn.

General positive

I really enjoyed this class.

I would definitely like to take Diane’s class again. I have learned so

much. This class met all of my expectations.

I would have liked to have been taught every class on new vocabulary.

Great teacher--answered all of my questions.

Is wonderful to have an English class at weekends. Ms. Barbara lander

is an excellent professor.

This course was the most valuable course I’ve attended in helping me

write my book. It's given me an entirely new perspective!

This is a great course. Thanks for offering it at such an economical

cost.

Very good class I love to learn.

Instructor satisfaction

Diane more than met my expectations. She really examined where the

class was at and catered to our level and what we wanted to learn. She

is very knowledgeable and fantastic teacher. I would love another

class that would continue from this.

Great personality; keep class on track and motivated. A great wealth

of information.

Happy with the way the instructor help in class, clear and supporting.

Need more practice and homework

I love this course with my teacher Barbara she is so nice and patient

and we speak all the time and she correct all mistakes. I love the way

that she teaches us ESL intermediate

I think the instructor knows very well the course. I have learned this

course thanks to the professor's skill.

I very happy with the way instructor in class, clear, and supporting

thanks.

I'm really glad with this course. Excellent teacher. She has made me

comfortable and has helped us a lot with personal attention.

Instructor very friendly and teach a lot of thing. I love this course

Need a third Spanish class! Span III please set it up! Excellent class,

excellent teacher A++++

Profesor Lipari is amazing! She has a vast knowledge of the language

and I am honored to have her as my teacher. I can't wait for the next

class to start in April. Ciao!

Professor Lipari is delightful and very, very knowledgeable. I look

forward to continued course work with her.

Professor Lipari is very knowledgeable and charismatic. I enjoyed

being in her class.

Quite enjoyable class--exceeded expectations. Extremely

knowledgeable professor. Madam du Professor.

This course is very informative and the instructor is very skillful and

knowledgeable. She shared many important facts about Italy--its

history, culture, and customs beyond our textbook. Professor Lipari is

very professional, gracious and supportive.

This was an excellent class. Mrs. Lipari was an amazing instructor and

I am looking forward to doing the advanced class in April 2013

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would take related courses offered

by this instructor. Found the course fun and helpful. Instructor made

us work; was frank and encouraging.

We learned a lot. Each week I felt I was well on my way to speaking /

learning Italian. The instructor was great. Not only did we learn Italian

but we learned about the culture and the people.

Knowledge gained

Great class! I learned more than I was expecting to.

Learned more than I thought I would. There were people in class that

had a lot of Spanish experience and I didn't have any.

Love not only learning language but history and discussion! Molto

beue!

Logistics Wish class offered immediately following 1st class in fall. I really

enjoyed Lipari. She is an excellent instructor. I look forward to the

next class in spring

More time

I just wish the class was longer so we had more time to discuss

material.

I want continue the class.

It was a great experience. I wish we have more classes.

My only criticism, is that the course could have been longer, thus

exploring more subject matter, and producing more writing and

critiques.

Other

Bobbie's class is informative and realistic. Does not set expectations

too high.

Great info, John needs major attitude adjustment

Perfect way to start re-learning something I forgot a long time ago.

Gracias la profesora Diane!

She has a book written 1) writing 2) publishing 3) marketing. Just read

them!

She is very nice and very helpful, if it is possible I’ll be here next

course.

The no's are due to missing 3 classes

This class exceeded my expectations. The instructor was excellent.

Suggestion for

improvement

Would prefer this to be a several class course.

It was a great class overall; but still has to learn a lot.

Class suggestion Would like to see a beginning course on a free or inexpensive

Photoshop program.

Content

Basic info NOT discussed--such as the difference between

timeline and newsfeed. Needs better explanation of where posts

will be seen. Tagging finally discussed--but after many

references to it without explanation of what it was. Needs and

outline and

Fine as much as could do with outdated performance

Great tips, great personality, in depth explanations.

Instructor injected too many stories, got off subject e.g. talking

about passwords, friends, family

The course information said we would go over security learned

in class. This would be covered in next week's class, which I did

not sign up for.

The information was clear and concise.

Disconnect

1st class I wasn't lost. The 2nd class I was lost.

Total beginner to Facebook this was too much technical--did not

learn how to post pics, make homepage, etc.

Disconnect/ More time She knows her subject but she talks/demonstrates WAY TOO

FAST. I couldn't follow; could not keep up. A student said "I'm

lost." She responded "why are you lost?" If the student could

answer that question, show wouldn't be lost. It was a highly

inapproppriate.

Instructor satisfaction

Instructor has tremendous knowledge of IPad and applications;

appreciate the manual, too!

Sometimes it's easier to learn by doing versus reading. This was

excellent. Dan very patient. Course exceeded personal goals.

Very informed instructor, good presentation.

Knowledge gained Gained additional knowledge about IPad from an expert

instructor, especially on updating my IPad.

Logistics It would be helpful if the instructor allowed a moment before

clicking on a selection on the screen to give everyone the

opportunity to follow along before the screen changes.

More time

Not enough time for questions about the general use of

Facebook.

Not enough time to cover the basics.

There is SO much to learn it will require several more classes for

me to truly feel comfortable on Facebook.

Other Was supposed to be designed for experienced users.

Suggestion for

improvement

I enjoyed the class. Instructor very knowledgeable. I was unable

to access a FB page in class and would have appreciated 1-on-1

assistance in order to do so. I was, howe3ver, able to follow

along with video classroom monitor.

Instructor should have a microphone--had trouble hearing her.

She sits behind her computer and we can't see her.

Application

I am very happy to take courses that provide skills/tools that I can use

right away at work. Nice work!

I liked the realistic focus of this course as to straight text book

learning.

Learned some great take aways to improve my department's approach

to facilitate process change and performance improvements within our

organization.

Practical real time info that can be implemented

Really appreciated all the knowledge that was explained and taught. It

was really appreciated. Will enjoy teaching and using the new

techniques.

Thanks for open new roads to improve process and apply lean culture.

The courses comprising the Operational Excellence certificate program

are all very high quality and provide tools and skills useful in business.

These courses are extremely useful to my level of work. I hope to

complete the certificate. Please offer the class cancelled in

September.02

Class suggestion

I would like to take Analyzing & Improving Office Functions so I can

complete my certificate.

Please continue offering classes in 2013. The class canceled in Aug.

2012 needs to be offered so the cert can be completed by a few of us!

Please get this course scheduled for 2013--there are 2 members of my

office who need to complete the sessions.

Course content

Enjoyed guest speaker--nice job

Good instructor; great materials and guest speaker

Had some good take-away that I will be using in our future Process

Improvement projects. I enjoyed the class. Good course material.

I enjoyed the guest speakers and the passion Roger has for his field. I

would have liked to learn more about entertainment PR but definitely

learned the "beginnings" of the field.

I enjoyed the public speakers invited to join the class--Real world

professionals are excellent/.

I strongly recommend this course and instructor, the guest speaker also

strengthens the discussion in real life scenarios

I thought we'd go more into scenarios and approaches to solutions. I

did like the breakdown of different styles and communications.

This was a very informative class. I got what I need out of this class

towards my development. Thank you

Very informative, enjoyed both speakers (instructor and guest speaker)

General Positive

Best course I have attended in years.

Glad the course was offered--very insightful and educational

It provides a great basis to begin development planning

Thank you. The knowledge I took from this 2 day course is amazing

Wonderful course that certainly gets you started on your path to

sewing!

A wonderful experience in Toto

Instructor satisfaction

Chris Cutler was outstanding and focused on the needs of her students.

She paid close attention in our weak areas and gave valuable teaching

in those areas. I highly recommend the professor and the class.

Desiree was an amazing instructor as far as being patient and

explaining in detail how the designs were to be drawn.

Dr. Boyd was very prepared and enthusiastic

Excellent course ; very useful. Excellent instructor can't wait to take

the Lean Office class that was previously cancelled.

Excellent program. Gary gives the students a chance to comment

during lectures.

Great class, very knowledgeable. I would enjoy any of Gary's classes,

he is an amazing teacher.

Great instruction, very helpful, made directions / sewing very easy to

understand and fun

I especially liked how the teacher made the effort to focus on each

person's individual goals.

I very much enjoyed the class! Marybeth Hantleb was wonderful! Very

educated and a talented teacher. An overall delightful experience.

Thank you!

It is always great to have a seasoned pro teach.

Maria is a wonderful and very patient instructor. Lucky to have her!

Maria is a wonderful instructor, well explanation of all questions. She

did great job on teaching me!! Hope to see her again next class!!

Maria is kind and patient. I've signed up for another course of hers to

continue learning pattern making.

Maria was very helpful and always available to each of us for the

hands-on projects. I learned a great amount of sewing skills in the 3

weekends. Thank you!

Professor Boyd is a great professor, it has been a pleasure attending

this class.. From not knowing anything about non-profit organizations,

I have learned a lot in this class.

Sylvia was motivational, inspiring, compassionate, and very

knowledgeable about the course. She pushed me out of my comfort

zone and helped me understand every concept thoroughly. I am more

Page 29: Fall 2012 Course Evaluations - UNLV Continuing Education · Stone Carving 3 1.3 Table Making 7 3 Vegetarian Entrees 12 5.1 ... Internet search Google Googled woodworking class in

than ever ready to pursue a very rewarding career in HR!

Sylvia was very organized and well prepared. She helped me motivate

to move forward in the field. Sylvia has passion for the HR field!

Wonderful instructor!

Sylvia's knowledge and passion for Human Resources made this

course enjoyable and fun. I am taking away lots of useful knowledge.

The instructor's passion and knowledge were invaluable to the course.

I really enjoyed the class.

Very informative course. The instructor was well prepared and very

knowledgeable. I come away from this course with confidence to be a

good manager.

Very informative training session. Good presenter

Very organized. Instructor was very passionate about the topic! Great

resource.

Logistics

Excellent! Please schedule ASAP "Analyzing & Improving Service

Operations" for some time in Dec + Jan so many of no can complete

the 3 other classes. I'm registered / paid for next 2 classes (Oct., Nov.)

Location and surroundings convenient and comfortable. Handouts /

AV materials very useful and well prepared. Ample time for

discussion, elaboration, etc.

More time

Great course! It should be one week long.

I enjoyed this class. It was very fast paced but we spent time on group

activities that involved critical thinking and then analyzed what the

right direction was. I wish we would have covered the test questions

specifically. Great materials!

Other

Learned more detailed information.

Of the entire course--which has been great, this has been incredibly

useful. I found some "low hanging fruit" I'd previously missed.

The course was very helpful. I think many casino businesses will

appreciate this course. Continuing Ed should advertise this class to the

casino industry.

Revelation I rarely date everything. Very satisfied-the course challenged my

assumptions and Dan made/allowed me to question myself throughout.

Suggestion for

improvement

I would have appreciated more case studies to practice on related to

each of our industries.

I would have liked spending more time on resolving issues with

problem employees as opposed to identifying problem employees.

In the first class, some students appeared baffled because they had zero

knowledge of sewing. Either the instructor should bring samples of

different kinds of fabric for illustration, or arrange a field trip to a

fabric store.

It was an informative class, but would have loved this class to be

divided into several sessions. This would develop more critical

thinking (case studies).

Application

Adam presented idea adoptions I was not aware of. I will be using these

tips for my personal business and work. Very exciting!

Adrian was very helpful and I feel I have retained knowledge to build

websites in the future.

Fast to cover the info. Need to practice more with the program. Still

struggle with the final project.

I am no longer afraid of the world wide web. I am excited to design my

website.

The basics are taught, but more web interactive would be fun

What was once thought to be unnecessary should now appear to be

useful tools that may be employed to improve my business and career

goals. Very eye-opening!

Application/more time Went way too fast for me. I really should not have taken course while

learning at work, my bad. Very nice teacher--way over what I need for

my job. Did learn basics in some things that will be helpful

Class suggestion

I would like a keyboard/typing class to learn better typing speed

I would like to have more advanced class including macros and

formulas.

I would like to see this be a 6 week course--I like it being on a weekday

afternoon

Maybe a Photoshop "practice" class or free to retake this class so that

learning can be more absorbed by really newbie students and prep for

Photoshop 2 classes

This class and Dreamweaver should be a joint class.

Would like additional short 2-4 hour courses in macro usage and access

troubleshooting.

Content

The course has a lot of info.

The instructor was very clear and the course was hands on which made

it easy to learn.

The pace of the course was just right. Moved through topics quickly and

efficiently.

Content/Instructor

satisfaction

The class showed me different tools to enhance social media sites and

applications that I did not know about. The instructor was very

enthusiastic and knew his material well. He presented information in a

very applicable manner.

Disconnect with

content

Hard time understanding

Instructor seemed concerned with plowing through the lessons and less

focused on actual learning. I read the book, used on-line tutorials, took

notes and still not completely certain I can do anything more than use

the templates provided.

Need more help in word.

Engagement/Content I love the hands on teaching style and the final project.

General Positive

Class was helpful and fun, thank you

Excellent class and teacher.

Fantastic course and instructor

Fantastic instructor!

Jessica was great. Learned a lot. Met all my expectations. Thanks.

Loved her class :) Very informed and cleared up many questions I’ve

had

Really enjoyed the class. Learned some things that I never did in HTML

This was a really informative class, and I cannot wait to continue in the

spring.

Instructor satisfaction

Adrian does a great job teaching this class.

Adrian is very knowledgeable in his field and makes learning html

interesting

Adrian was very helpful and interested in US really grasping the

content.

Bonnie was an excellent instructor. She kept the class on an effective

pace; kept the class engaged; was knowledgeable, and interesting.

Great class. Awesome instructor. Really helps you out.

Great foundation, taught clearly and logically; great real-life examples

Great instructor very helpful and always willing to stay after class or

answer any emails to help out with issues.

Great instructor. Very knowledgeable; very passionate about the class

content.

Great teacher, presentation skills and applicable to profession

I have had Jessica before as an instructor. She's a huge asset to your

continuing education program.

I learned so many tips from the instructor that were not in the book. She

is very knowledgeable and communicates the information in an easy to

understand manner

I took this course back in 2002 + this was definitely more informative

this time around. Teacher was very helpful and answered all questions

asked. Loved the class! Thank you!

Jessica was very informative and entertaining. Great.

Jessica's knowledge of the topic is outstanding. She did an excellent job

in covering the material, and gave excellent advice regarding improving

my knowledge of the subject

Krystal is an awesome teacher, very patient, and she really knows her

stuff.

Met objectives in the catalog fully. Good pace. Animated instructor.

Thanks!

Sharon is knowledgeable and helpful.

She had a great teaching style and held us accountable of retaining the

knowledge with weekly quizzes

She should receive a bonus. Her course is excellent

The instructor was very helpful

Very good instructor gives in depth analysis on how to create a website

would recommend instructor to others

Knowledge gained

Came in with virtually zero html skills and left being able to write a

functioning website

Class gave me more information and skills to help me improve my

skills and make my work easier.

I enjoyed the class as well as learning more than I had hoped. I did sign

up for more classes, thank you UNLV. It's been over 20 yrs. since I

have taken a class, now I will take more

I have a lot to learn!

I learned a lot in a short time and my interest in design increased

dramatically. Thanks! :)

More time

Class was a bit fast paced. Wish it went for 8-10 classes instead of just

6. Instructor is VERY knowledgeable in her field. The fast paced nature

was balanced nicely with her individualized attention to each student

while working on class projects.

Class was great. Just too short weeks. Would like more classes just for

formulas and functions.

Go slower when lecturing. Easy to get lost

I feel I will need to spend more time playing to grasp everything I

learned.

I need more basic instruction and slower

I think I needed more time to learn like 6 weeks instead of 4

Photoshop is such a large program and so much to learn that I wish the

course was longer or had more than I and II course but Krystal is very

informative and knows how to explain it in a way easy to understand.

Slow down

The course needs to be much longer, possibly 6-8 in length

Other

Class II should be great

Gives complete answers to every question

I was somewhat disappointed with the class. Wasn't given an answer or

clear answer when I asked questions.

It didn't meet my goals because unfortunately I never received my work

book from Amazon and so I came to classes without my homework and

overall the class without a workbook to study at home was very difficult

for me.

Suggestions for

improvement

Html level 1 was a pre-req, but I doubt many had it. Too many basic

questions that slowed class down considerably.

Classes went over allotted time. Need better time management in

lessons. Need to respond to emails faster/more often.

I really enjoyed both the illustrator and Photoshop classes,. Both

instructors were informative and patient. The only drawback being

people in the classes that didn't do work or homework really slowed

down the class and wasted time.

More hands on work

Prereq should include an established acct in different social media

venues. Recommend quick survey on first night to determine expertise--

don't "teach down" but encourage less experienced to do extra

homework and increase preparedness. Great class!

When say to the instructor I'm having trouble it would have been nice if

she would have come over to see what the problem was instead of

telling me to look at the screen. Jessica did not seem to want to see what

the students were doing or having a...

Wish there were more hands on activities.
