Student FeedbackMany people are hesitant to embrace the concept of online learning and wonder if it is a valid method for teaching and learning. What is it about? How does it work? Can I really feel a part of a community? Will my instructor actually teach me something? Won't I feel left out of the learning process or isolated from my classmates and instructor? These are valid questions you might have, and while distance learning is not for everyone, you CAN find a stimulating, interactive learning environment and a vibrant online community in my classes. Sometimes it helps to hear from the students themselves, so I will start to pass along some of the feedback I receive. If you have any questions about my classes, you can always send me an email to r_stolpe@yahoo.com!

Re: essay 1
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the update on the essay. Also, I just wanted to say that I am so happy with the way the class is going! I feel no lack of involvement with the class and I am appreciative of your attentiveness and involvement with the students. I was hesitant about taking a class online at first but this is proving to be a great experience.
Thanks again, -Sarah

Hello Prof,
I sent my paper in last night and I hope you received it. There was some delayed reactions and when I hit the "submit" button again it notified me that I already sent it so hopefully so. I am quite pleased with this paper. Thanks for a wonderful classroom environment and the challenging material you chose. You really wanted us to open our eyes to these events all around us and I believe you succeeded. Looking at the forum now that we've reached the end of the class is pretty amazing.

Some student farewells from the discussion forum:
(1) A friendly and a warm hello to all my friends,
I wish I had more words to express my happy feelings towards this class. This is my first on-line course and I was not sure about its activities. But, I found this class to be very interactive. I thank everyone for supporting and encouraging one another.
To be honest, I am really going to miss this class in the future (I don't know how I am going to pass my days without logging into the Forum). I am sure, on this coming Monday I will sit automatically infront of my computer and I will be wondering where to log-in!!!!!)Isn't it true, my friends??
I take this opportunity to thank our teacher, Ms. Rebecca Stolpe for being such a nice, warm, nurturing, supporting, encouraging and a friendly teacher.
I enjoyed studying and working with all my classmates. This class is a good example to say that, "I learnt so much of knowledge, both from my teacher and my classmates."
Thank you all and I wish you all have a great, relaxing summer time.
With warm regards,
Raji S.
(2) Hey guys, this was a really rewarding class. Believe it or not, I am always the quiet one in class but this summer after taking this online class and a speech class I am glad it enabled me to make my voice heard. The topics we discussed were truly important for all of us. Uh, I still need some help with my grammar obviously but I really enjoyed ragging on the media and discussing other issues. Lalo, that was a very sweet comment and thank you for all you have done in this class. You brought some good insight to the table. Thanks to the prof, too, for making this class a bit more interesting than any other old English class. Have a great summer to all of you and good luck with the rest of your lives. -Sarah B.
(3) Farewell everyone. It was a fun ride and I'm now optimistic about the success of Distance Learning. I hope everyone does well with their future pursuits. Watch out for advertisers and the feedback loop.

(4) This was my first online class and I really enjoyed it. I hope we all won't forget what we learned this summer. i'll miss logging on to the ETUDES. In anycase, nice knowing all of you.

(6) This turned out to be great class! Thanks to everyone in the class for creating such a dynamic group, I have learned a lot from everyone that I have interacted with. Rebecca, thank you for being such an engaging and helpful teacher.
Take care -Sarah E.
(7) Well, that six weeks went by really quick!! I am not very computer savay, but am proud to say with Lalo's help, I can now copy and paste!!! I would have been lost without you. THank you Lalo for being so patient and so willing to help me learn and sit in front of my computer with me. I sooo appreciate it. You make me want to learn all of the other little computer tricks my medical terminal doesn't do!!! I didn't post as much as I would have liked, as I was a little frustrated at times with posting in the wrong place etc....I think (finally) I have the hang of it (yeah!!!).
I really enjoyed reading everyone's work. Not something you can do in a "real" classroom. It was nice and I think it stimulates ones learning and thinking process. Thank you all for participating. I hope everyone has a very enjoyable summer. I also want to thank Rebecca for being a great teacher and so helpful and encouraging to us. It makes the learning process much less intimidating. Take care all. Kathleen
(8) I had a blast in this class, and learned a great deal about grammars. I enjoyed being in this class and thanks to the help that I have received. I hope everyone have a great summer!!! -Tri
(9) Rebecca, Thank you for all of your help. With comments on papers and different assignments in grammer you really helped me to imrove my writing skills. Everybody else, thank you also. Thanks for the comments and advise on my papers. I enjoyed the difference with this class and the amount of conversation that everyone struck up. It was nice to be able to voice my opinion and recieve feed back. Thanks for everything and good luck to all of you in your future endeavours.

(10) I just want to thank everyone in the class, we all worked together in helping each other with our papers and in the dicussion forums. I think everyone did a good job. Everyone should be proud of themeselves we all did a good job and worked really hard these last 6 weeks. It went by really fast and took a alot of work and now we can all just relax and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Dear Ms. Board,
I have really enjoyed your course so far and all the classmates have been really enthusiastic and helpful. Please see below my 2-page, double-spaced self-reflection essay. The format did not come out as I said after I pasted it on Etudes and I hope this is OK.
If you have some feedback you would like to share, email this instructor.
