Student Testimonials
“Dr. Arnak gave us useful feedback and held us to the deadlines that were set.”
“Dr. Arnak provided detailed feedback. I could tell she read everything submitted in her responses”
“I appreciated how practical this course was and I also appreciated how Dr. Arnak incorporated lectures in her weekly Announcements. It really helped me to feel more connected to her.”
“Thank you for challenging me in the course. I appreciate you responding quickly to our needs as students.”
“I feel I learned a good deal in this course.”
“Thank you, Dr. Arnak, for guiding us through this course. I enjoyed learning the different aspects of pedagogy skills. It was definitely challenging to start to understand this first course at the beginning but things started falling into place as we went through the modules. Thank you also for your support during the period when I was in India.”
“The weekly presentations in the Announcement were fantastic.”
“This course was a great first experience with Alliant. I believe it has prepared me for future classes.”
“Overall great experience.”
“I enjoyed this course and it got me thinking about what I need to do to become the teacher my students need.”
“I learned so much in this course? I think the information was valuable and will help me be a better teacher. The course was a lot of work, but it was all beneficial. The amount of work took me off guard because I thought it would not be as intense as a 3 unit course. But, like I said, I learned a lot from it all and none of it seemed like busy or unnecessary work. I also enjoyed the video Announcements that were incorporated as the verbal input was helpful. Thank you!”
