Comment:

Professor Willis is such a great lady. She is always emailing back to answer any questions you may have. There are a lot of course units, but they are not hard. They just take some time to complete. She is not a harsh grader and has a detailed rubric for each assignment. She is super chill, and I would definitely take her again!

Nice lady, super easy, she makes it impossible to get a lower grade even if you want one - you don-t learn more than a few hours worth of stuff after a whole semester.

She is a great professor, one who definitely loves her job. She's very patient and understanding. Just reach out to her and she will come up with a solution to benefit you. Yes, there is a lot of work, and its overwhelming at times but if you dedicate time to it, you will finish it! She always replies to emails, and offers help from the student lab

She is a fabulous teacher! Each week you learn something new and must complete 3-4 tasks in each unit. You get the hang of it and she lets you turn things in again in case you need to correct something. If you use your laptop, I suggest buying a wireless mouse. She will you help you big time, just ask! She's funny and makes you feel relaxed!

Dr. Willis goes out and beyond to help her students! She is a wonderful person and she really cares about her students. She does give galore of assignments but they are easy only if you attend class. Do not get behind on your assignments!! Always turn them in on time!!! She also takes you step by step on what to do for each assignment.

Mrs. Willis is very understanding and goes out of her way to help you, if you're willing to receive it. It is a lot of work, but if you keep up with the assignments, and fix the corrections she gives you in the comment box, you'll receive an A. There is also NO FINAL. I will definitely be taking her for other classes she offers.

If you keep up with the assignments each week, the course will be a breeze. That said there are a lot of assignments. They aren't really challenging though. If you do get a bad score on something, she lets you redo it. She was very helpful and knows her stuff.

What can I say, Mrs. Willis is wonderful. There are a lot of assignments, but she is a fairly easy grader and is so sweet. She does not count off points for late work, but have it done my the end of the course. She is a great teacher and my computer skills are so much better after taking her class and being forced to use these contraptions!

Took this class in Spring 2013. Professor Willis is a super nice lady and a good teacher. I am not good with technology but she made it really easy. If you do all the work on time, you will make an A. She even lets you go back and fix errors to raise your score on assignments.

Very helpful. The weekly units aren't too difficult if you don't BS them. She is very willing to help, and will let you fix your assignments to recover lost credit. Just stay on top of your work, and you'll be fine. You attend class most weeks, but do and submit your work online. Good class for those who aren't great at technology, like me.

Comment:

Mrs. Willis is a great professor who is flexible, kind, and willing to help. She truly cares about integrating technology into the classroom. It is important to NOT fall behind in this class, since there are many assignments. If you do all of your work, I promise, you will get an A. Also, if you have a MAC, use a DIFFERENT computer to do the work.

Really confusing and unless you're going to be a teacher its pretty useless. She is a good teacher but required too much busy work.

She is extremely helpful! There were a few times I ran into problems, and she did all she could to help/explain. Since this was an online class, she was quick to email a response. The class is not hard, but extremely time consuming and the directions on the assignments are VERY detailed! I learned a lot!

I have two degrees and am working on my third in education. Dr. Willis is the very best professor I have ever had in my life. She's hilarious and really makes a potentially difficult course fun. She genuinely cares about each and every student and wants them to succeed. I see her from time to time and she always stops to chat and catch up. :oD

Comment:

Dr. Willis works very hard to help her students. If you make a bad grade it is truly your own fault. She makes herself readily available and works through (step by step) a sample of how to complete each & EVERY assignment. If you go to class and pay attention, there is no reason you should not make an "A"...even if you are not a "computer" person.

What a great teacher... wish there were more like her! This class will take alot of time!!!! Must be organized and manage your time. If you get behind she will work with you. However, it will be very difficult to get caught up because each week builds on the previous weeks assignments. Go to class!

Comment:

The work is very time consuming and you have to spend alot of hours outside of class doing it and each week's assignment is due. though if its wrong, she'll send it back so you can correct it. The work is kinda tuff be she allows you to collaborate with a partner as long as it is credidted. She is the best out of all the INST teachers.

Very cool teacher. A lot of people complained about the course load but I didn't find it a problem (but maybe if you aren't a computer person). She is extremely helpful and easy-going! I would take her again in a heart beat!!!

Comment:

Summer/5wk/grad. The work load is a lot, but after the 1st 5 assignments, it is much eaiser. Response time for questions/ emails are slow, but she is very helpful. Need books b/c all the work/quizzes are straight from the books. The directions for assignments are detail and you have to FOLLOW them Step by step to recieve full pts. Good Teacher.
