Student Feedback
Engagement with students:
“Annette is awesome! She's responsive, articulate, supportive! Her assignment comments are enjoyable ...as if she is having a conversation with you. She is a perfect idea of what it means to be a mentor.”
“Annette was very supportive. I rarely connect with my tutor during my studies, my experience in the course changed my views on that. I now think it is important to connect, open up dialogue, to enhance the learning experience.”
“She responds to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She gave you feedback on your assignments in a short period knowing that one needs the feedbacks before embarking on the next assignment. She's a born lecturer with all the good qualities you can think of.”
Atmosphere created by instructor:
“Annette was amazing. I can't provide enough positive feedback. She was so accommodating and answered questions quickly and thoughtfully. I never felt like I was a bother to her and I felt like she had a genuine interest in my individual learning.”
“The instructor (Annette) was helpful, provided extra materials when I needed help figuring out a methodology to take for my thesis, communication was good, she frequently posted to the Q and A forum to remind us of things and to clarify assignment details…”
“She was so supportive and understanding. She also was open to review and provide feedback at any point so I never felt like I was lost in the course.”
“Annette was fantastic. She responded so quickly, was so accommodating and went above and beyond to support the class.”
Using multiple modes of connecting with students:
“I really enjoyed her introduction videos every week- it helped me feel more connected as a student.”
“…and her videos to guide us into each module were very good, it was like being in class a little bit.”
Knowledge level of instructor:
“The professor was really good (knew her stuff and helped students).”
“If I didn't understand something, she would continue to help me until I understood.”
“Annette is brilliant and very encouraging.”
