Response 12 | There was a lot of support among the students in this class - very thankful for that! |
Response 13 | n/a |
Response 14 | Well-organized, course ran very smoothy and assignments presented in a timely manner. |
Response 15 | I love distance education. I find that I do better in this enviroment, if a class is available online and in class, I would take the online. I feel that without distance education I would not have been able to return to school and finish my degree. There should be more classes available at all levels. |
Response 16 | I liked that the teacher responded quickly to my e-mails and helped me when I didn't understand the material presented. |

Response 22 | it's convenient and i can work on my own time |
Response 23 | All the information for the course were there. Assignments, quizzes and notes. |
Response 24 | I could do it at my own time. Didn't feel pressured or rushed. |
Response 25 | The flexibility of time allowed. The class I took was well suited to the distance educ. format. |
Response 26 | Distance learning is terrific. I took ICS111 last semester and loved it. It is convenient. Lectures portions can be replayed over and over if its a difficult point, especially when its downloadable also in mp4 format. I feel all classes should have Distance Learning formats which would open up learning to a vastly greater population. I work full time and cannot make it to campus classes. Distance Learning provides the flexibility. Contact with the instructor online has been great and I stopped in to see them when I could. You must put all courses in a cirriculum in the Distance Learning program. I am finding that pre-requisite courses I need for computer programming are not being offered via Distance Learning. I believe that Distance Learning is an educational revolution. It makes education open to everyone without geographic limitation. The format for Leeward CC's ISC111 was the best...video with also mp4 downloads. Please keep up the good work, expand the program as rapidly as possible and put more financial resources into building the program. Mahalo. |

Response 35 | On the other hand, of the three distance courses I have taken, instructors Ms. Porter and Mr. Teraoka were the most outstanding. Everything is stated from the beginning, there are active discussions in which they provide input (especially Ms. Porter), you know exactly what you will be graded on, when assignments, quizzes, and tests will be due, and so forth. I can go on and on. I look to take more distance education courses in the future and hope my learning experience will be at least equal to what these two instructors have and continue to do. I can also learn at my convenience. Being a working adult that frequently travels, sometimes I just dont have time to go to night classes every week. I might do 2 or 3 quizzes at one time vice one at a time due to working commitments. Its the convenience of doing the courses that I really enjoy. |
Response 36 | It was very convenient and I liked the formatting of the classes. I like the fact that you can sometimes do things ahead of time where as on campus classes often do assignments on a specific schedule, no earlier or no later. For some reason in online courses I am most likely to interact with more classmates than in an on campus setting, it was much easier to interact with others, which is what I enjoyed. |
Response 37 | |
Response 38 | |
Response 39 | The previlage of not having to quit my job in order to take courses. The convenience of being "in" the classroom any time of the day or night. And mostly for this opportunity of finally completing my last class towards my Liberal Arts Degree. YIPEE! Excellent class and courses offered by LCC. Great teachers. Mahalo! |
Response 40 | 1) Learning about my classmates and who they are 2) The instructor's compassion for the subject and always finding ways to add some extra points to ones scores. 3) The variety of assignments/quizzes/problems that makes the course fun to learn. Sometimes it became a challenge for him since I have a minor comprehensive problem, but I am glad when I pass a course and try to apply the education to practical life experience. Thanks to Mr. Kamida for all he does. I have enjoyed his classes along with the other accounting faculty and appreciate the guidance they offer. |
Response 41 | |
Response 42 | I'm a stay at home mother, raising a 11 month & 6 yr old. Having access to the internet instead of going to campus helped me tremendously!!!!!

Response 187 | Throughout my college path since Spring 2005, I've been solely a DE student and enjoyed learning from distance education. As its 3 years later, its still the most beneficial for students like myself "non-traditional". Thank you for offering DE and I hope that you continue offer DE courses!!!!! I am transferring to UHWO for the FAl08 semester and I am not able to get into the DE Track applied Science Bachelors degree since it is only offered to the neighbor islands, but I hope they will review my files and see that I am more than capable of withstanding the distance education level of learning, and give me a chance a shooting for my education.

This one seems to be most simple. |

Response 284 | |
Response 285 | For my LAW class, I enjoyed the fact that it was well spread out. The weekly quizzes were fairly distributed and achievable. I liked the fact that the instructor seemed to care about his students and it shows that he wanted them to pass. For my Accounting class, I liked the fact that we could only be able to move on with the quizzes if we passed that weeks quiz with a certain score. It ensures that you have that much more of a chance to get a passing grade. |
Response 286 | Can do the class whenever free time is available. |
Response 287 | |
Response 288 | I loved how independently I got to learn. I loved being able to access my class at any time. The teacher was very helpful and quick to communicate with. His instructions were clear, and his assignments were helpful in putting our new knowledge to use in everyday scenarios. Though this course was taken online, I feel that I learned a lot more than I would have been able to if I went to a real classroom. Being able to study at my own time made the material interesting and approachable. Also, since the exams were open book, I feel that I got more out of the material since I had to review the book more than once. This online class is great! I plan to take more of these in the next coming semesters at LCC! :D |
Response 289 | It saved me time by not going to class on campus, and because all resources and quizzes were available from the beginning of semester, I could focus on them without losing my interest. Sometimes it is effective to learn intensively, as long as a student is interested in. |

Response 291 | |
Response 292 | all |
Response 293 | That the class was very straight forward and that I was able to take it from home. |
Response 294 | Teachers were involved, and helped when I had any questions. |
Response 295 | I loved that I could do all of the assignments on my own time, since the only reason I take an online class is because I don't always have the time to meet with a regular class. I could complete all of my assignments whenever I had the time, even if it was at 3 in the morning or 11 at night. |
Response 296 | able to complete work on my time and/or ahead of schedule so I can travel. I like when assignment dropboxes are available from the beggining of the semester. |
Response 297 | Convenience, I can learn when I want to learn at whatever time I decide is best for my scheduele. |
Response 298 | I like that this distance education class gave you enough time to do the assignment when it is convenient for you, but not so flexable that you may fall behind. This course was designed in a way that helped me succeed independently. |
Response 299 | I liked how the exams were structured. |
Response 300 | In one of my distant education class, I loved that, that particular instructor was always available to us. She was very kind and warm with her words and made it easy for us to use our resources. If there was complications, she was understanding and continued to help us use our tools. I loved that class, it went smoothly. No problems! |
Response 301 | I did not have to go to class and sit down and listen to the instructor but was able to participate online. |
Response 302 | i didn't have to drive to school to go to class. and i chose when i was gonna read in the time of the day. |

Finally I enjoyed having quick responses from our professor even during times out of school. If there was an issue that I encountered at midnight or early in the morning, I received an e-mail from him immediately on the next day.

Ms. Hodges actually makes use of the calendar feature (which more professors should take the time to fill out, as to better clarify their expectations and deadlines) and she was readily available and quickly responded to emails and discussion posts. |
Response 380 | I got to learn on my own time and it gave me time to study on days that I didn't have to work and if I was away from work. I like DE courses because it saves me a lot of time to drive to school and I am focused well enough as if I were in class. |

Response 601 | it fitted around my busy work and home schedule and since i am well disciplined it worked well |

Response 616 | There are alot of things that I liked about the long distance program. I work a full-time job and I am on call at another place, so for me it was the only way to go to school. I really enjoyed it. I was nerveous at first because I have not been in school in a long time and I have never taken an on-line course before. Now I feel that it will be possible to get my BS, eventually. I hope that LCC adds more courses on-line. It's great!!! |
