Fall 2012 Course Evaluations Summary Report for Personal Enrichment and Continuing Education Courses
Fall
2012
1
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).
2
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.

Class engagement
Great class and experience!! Enjoyed working with fellow
classmates from the basic woodworking class and working together
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

Excellent class! I took beginning and intermediate photography at
CSN. I learned more in THIS class than in 2 semesters at CSN.
Excellent program. Well done! Hoping for a follow-up
Fantastic!
I truly loved this class and will take the next class that comes in Feb.

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!
Instructor James Mahoney was great at explaining and showing
examples of photos. Excellent class!
Instructor was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the course.
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.

Application
Very good interaction with students. Utilizes common sense
approaches to questions and scenarios.
Very inspirational and motivating. Plenty of ideas there
generated and I have lots to think about. Thanks!
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.

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.
18
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
19
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.
24
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
27
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
28
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.

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

Hard time understanding
Instructor seemed concerned with plowing through the lessons and less

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.
33
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

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.
