It didn't really because all we used it
for was to print notes for class. I would just log on & print notes |

Well we really didn't learn anything on
blackboard but it helped me receive information on upcoming events in the
class. |
|
97 |
It enabled me to keep track of my grades

the professor would put on helpful tips for a quiz etc. This information was
only mentioned on Blackboard so it helped with the studying process. |
|
99 |
We received our notes on Blackboard |
|
100 |
Lots of notes for this class Blackboard
enabled us to keep them organized and accessible. |

I find it helpful to find out test
grades-I also like that I can print my notes before class instead of taking

109 |
Our lectures were all posted on
blackboard. It was helpful because I could check my grade whenever I wanted
to. |
|
110 |
The way blackboard printed up my notes I
needed for class was awful. There were lines running across my pages and
things missing. I hated using it. |
|
111 |
In Chem 101 Blackboard was used to print
chapter notes; check assignment; and check grades. In Child Psychology I used blackboard to check my grades; check announcements;
and take weekly quizzes. In Native American Literature blackboard was used
for check grades; discussion board; and announcements. |
|
112 |
The teacher put his notes [lecture notes]
on there. We were able to get them off. They were much better than the book
because they expounded on what the booklet left out. |
|
114 |
It was nice to get class notes &
grades online |
|
115 |
Our professor put the lecture notes on the
blackboard site so we could print them off for class and we
to study. |

I just used it to check grades and print

notes from my course. |
|
121 |

grade whenever I choose to. Also having the notes posted there helped with
lecture. |
|
123 |
My professor posted the lecture notes on
blackboard and key points which helped me study for exams. |
|
124 |
All of our notes [lectures] were posted on
blackboard. Also; I could use it to check my grade. |
|
125 |
It didn't really help all that much. I had
to print off notes because my professor was too cheap to make copies himself.
There was nothing on his site that would have helped me learn how to do
things different. |
|
126 |
It really didn't help me out at all. I
just used it so I could access the material I needed to pass the class. |
|
128 |
Our prof posted the lecture notes for each
class period the day before for us to print and bring to class. |
|
129 |
I was able to review my grade when I
wanted. |
|
130 |
I wasn't always in class and it helped me
to prepare myself for the day I would go. |
|
131 |
It allowed me to get the class notes
directly over the net. |
|
132 |
It made it unnecessary to take notes in
class since all had to do was get them off Blackboard. |
|
133 |
It helped give lectures especially if you
missed a day of class. Keep me to date with everything going on in the class.
|
|
134 |
It gave me classroom announcements. And if
you missed a class or discussion the notes were there for you to look at. It
also kept your grade up to date. |
|
135 |
It told me what I had to do for my class.
It told you what the assignment was. |
|
137 |
It allowed for almost immediate feedback
on grades. Any announcements and due dates were posted. Lecture notes made
class easier. |
|
138 |
It didn't. I just got my notes off of it. |
|
139 |
We used Blackboard to download class
lecture notes. This made it easier so that we didn't have to copy his notes
in class so we could spend more time listening to what he had to say. |
|
140 |
It was handy to have our lecture notes
beforehand and to be able to print them off so that we didn't have to spend
more time writing notes than listening. It's also nice to know your grade at
all times. |
|
143 |
I really wouldn't say it assisted my
learning process but it made things convenient if I wasn't in class on a
particular day because I could check blackboard for assignments and lecture
notes posted. |
|
144 |
It didn't. I logged on to find assignments
and that was it. |
|
145 |
Helped me to interact with my class more
efficiently |
|
146 |
Gave access to information & learning
outside of class; kept students up to date more effectively |
|
147 |
The only thing we use BB for is to see our
assignments & grades. It's not really beneficial. It would be nice if it
was more like Deltas seeing your transcript; courses; etc. that would be beneficial
|
|
148 |
All assignments where placed on Blackboard
is meaning that you don't have to worry about losing what assignments are
about. |
|
149 |
The assignments were clear. You knew what
the teacher wanted and important dates. |
|
150 |
Didn't really assist learning at all. |
|
151 |
I can check up on schedules and
assignments whenever I want. |
|
152 |
It really didn't help my learning process.
|
|
153 |
It helped me with what assignments I
needed to do and also to see my grades I receive from this class. |
|
154 |
It allowed me to get my grade as it
progressed through the semester. |
|
155 |
It makes it easy to get access to
information about my class by simply login in and checking it out. It also
put me in touch with my professor instructions for homework. It also lets me
check my grade to see where I stand for the class. |
|
156 |
Allowed me to check assignments I wasn't
sure about; and specifics about them. |
|
158 |
It was pretty good. I had no problems. |
|
159 |
Blackboard particularly helpful in giving
an update. |
|
160 |
It didn't really increase my learning
process because it was only used to check grades and assignments |
|
161 |
It gave the instructor easy access for
posting assignments. If you are absent for some reason all you had to do was
go on blackboard to know what was covered that day and any assignments you
might have missed. |
|
162 |
The professor put assignments and
solutions on the blackboard. I was able to find the answers the teacher
posted. |
|
163 |
It didn't. |
|
165 |
All of our labs and tests information were
given on Blackboard so I needed Blackboard to
be successful in the course. |
|
166 |
Help with reviewing for test because
teacher posted past assignment solutions. |

All the lecture notes & assignments
were posted so always able to see what I needed to do. |
|
168 |
Helped to check grades. |
|
170 |
Information was readily available |

171 |
I was able to listen during class because
I did not take notes during class. The professor put everything on
Blackboard. All assignments were posted to blackboard and I was able to communicate
with m group. |
|
172 |
It kept me informed about my grade. What I
needed for class and it kept me on task. |
|
173 |
It's great. |
|
174 |
Info at fingertips. Knowledge all in one
place. |
|
175 |
This is a computer class so using
blackboard was a natural extension. It was helpful to have everything on line
so I could re-read it whenever convenient. |
|
176 |
Blackboard has been an excellent tool used
to help aid my educational experience. I found it great to use 24 hours a day
and at any time it is convenient to you. |
|
177 |
Again the showing of document was helpful |
|
178 |
I really liked the links my professor put
up--easy access and I can find them. |
|
179 |
It was nice to be able to look things up

comfortable with sending my assignments on-line. |

progress. I also liked being able to contact my professor and other
classmates. The ''on-line'' week of class was fun! |
|
185 |
I was not familiar with computers in the
first place. This blackboard course made me familiar with almost everything
about computers and what to do with them. |
|
186 |
I learned how to communicate through yet
another ''forum.'' |
|
187 |
:} |
|
188 |
Our teacher put links there that we needed
to do assignments. |
|
189 |
I was able to have access to my grades and
upcoming assignments if there weren't mentioned in class. I was also able to
contact my instructor or other classmates if I had a question. |
|
190 |
Electronically talk to other classmates
and professors. |
|
191 |
It was nice to see the assignments and the
due dates. |
|
192 |
It helped me keep up with my grades so I
knew where I stood in my class. |
|
193 |
Blackboard helped me to check my grades;
so I always knew where I stood in my class. |
|
194 |
It informed me on my grades on tests. |
|
197 |
I can't really think of anything. |
|
198 |
In this course; blackboard really wasn't
there to assist the learning process. We had to introduce ourselves in the
discussion board and a few links were posted; but mainly I used it to keep
track of my grade |
|
199 |
I think more than anything it allowed me
to be able to navigate the internet better. |
|
200 |
Through assignments. Also let me know my
grade in class at any time. |
|
201 |
We used blackboard to get specific
websites needed for assignments. |
|
202 |
Didn't really affect it too much. |
|
204 |
I liked it because I was able to go out
and check my grades anytime I wanted to. |
|
206 |
It let me interact more with students
outside of the class. |
|
208 |
I didn't feel that blackboard was used
with the purpose of assisting the learning process in class. |
|
209 |
Blackboard really didn't assist my
learning process. |
|
210 |
Grades were seen |
|
211 |
In this class we only had two assignments
that we went to blackboard to do and not much else was put on the site. |
|
213 |
It provided easy access to external sites
that we were required to visit. |
|
214 |
It helps keep track of my grades and helps
to keep in touch with other students. |
|
215 |
Was able to get material when missed a
class. |
|
216 |
Our class had quotations that needed to be
answered each week in the group discussion board component of blackboard.
These questions developed my knowledge of issues related to the course. |
|
217 |
Blackboard has a roster of the people in
class with their notes posted. This was very helpful if I were to miss a
class. Also the assignments tests and grades were posted to make it easy if
you missed. |
|
218 |
Links to websites and communicating to
professors. |
|
219 |
It let me contact my teacher quicker. |
|
220 |
It helps in that when a teacher wasn't
around; blackboard was. |
|
221 |
The assignment given on it helped me to
think rationally and as long as I wanted to. |
|
222 |
It didn't really. It allowed me to turn in
assignments and check on homework. |
|
223 |
The instructor I believe assisted on
learning process but blackboard made it easy for me to access grades and do
homework faster. |
|
224 |
Blackboard was useful to me because it was
used to do assignments on. I just found it easier to do an assignment on
blackboard rather than having to turn it in by hand. |
|
225 |
It really didn't assist other than other
external links to the internet given by the prof. |
|
226 |
It really didn't help me. Thought it was a
pain in the butt because I had lots of other homework to do. |
|
227 |
Blackboard helped me understand many
different aspects in politics. |
|
228 |
Blackboard did not really affect my
learning process. |
|
229 |
Throughout my two years at |
|
230 |
It gave me assignments that taught you a
lot about political science. |
|
231 |
It helps me to be able to see what I need
to do as many times as possible. It also allows me to have easy access to the
professor. |
|
232 |
Instead of printing off and turning in
assignments; we could just post them on blackboard. This saves paper and also
saves the trouble of losing assignments. |
|
235 |
made it easier than actually having
written [hand] assignments |
|
236 |
Our teacher posted questions on Blackboard
which we had one week to reply to. We used the discussion group area to
complete this. Having the question available on-line was good because we can
access them from anywhere. |
|
237 |
Blackboard assisted in my learning process
because I was able to have other links readily available to help me if I
needed them since the teacher was not there. |
|
238 |
I was able to work on assignments in a
more relaxed environment. |
|
239 |
Due to different fieldwork assignments
contacting students about important announcements could have been difficult;
but we could easily find them posted on Blackboard. We were also able to
reflect on experiences in between class sessions. |
|
240 |
It allowed us to do things at our own pace
and in the discussions we could think about what we wanted to say before we
said anything. |
|
241 |
I liked being able to talk back and forth
with my classmates without having to worry about an expensive phone bill. |
|
242 |
Blackboard allowed for everyone to write
their ideas down to be shared with others. This helped to expand in class
discussions. |
|
243 |
Blackboard enabled me to do assignments
outside of class and I wasn't required to write down my responses on paper. I
could simply type and send them. |
|
244 |
I liked the use of technology in the
classroom. It was more convenient to post discussion board assignments online
rather than turning everything into the teacher. It was easy access at home.
You can see the class' opinions and responses which is helpful. |
|
245 |
Helped me to work and talk with other
students in the class while I was doing fieldwork. I was able to share
information and experiences. |
|
246 |
It was nice to hear from other classmates
by reading their thoughts and views. |
|
247 |
It allowed me to have access to
announcements. I was also able to post and reply to other classmates on
assigned topics. |
|
248 |
It allowed for additional comments on
lecture topics. |
|
249 |
I was able to discuss class related
topics. |
|
250 |
It was easy to access and I could see
other students responses in the discussion board respond to them. |

my classmates on the discussion boards. |

classmates when we were in the field. |

assignments for this course. It allowed me to talk with other classmates. |

share knowledge and ideas with classmates. |

about our experiences in the field. |
