Comments:

Very educational and informative class.  Prof. Schroeder is very organized wit class lectures, discussions, and presentation of material.  Always was available via phone, internet and in person to answer questions.  He also provided timely feedback which is much appreciated.  Enjoyed the class very much.

----
Ray is a very good teacher and well organized.  This is my third online class and I was quite impressed with his organization of this course.  If the opportunity arises again I will take another one of Ray's classes.

----
I could see this being made a required course for almost all of the programs on campus because of the internet and it's impact on society.  the ability to use the internet and computers is essential for almost all jobs in today's job market.

----
Great course!  I really like the totally online format - it lets me learn at times that are most convenient for me.  Ray is a super instructor - he really cares about his students.  I wish that all faculty at UIS were like him!!

----
I have thoroughly enjoyed this class.  I learned things here that I could never have found out just browsing the Internet.  This course should bea a "Required" course for all students at UIS.

----
Ray is very knowledgeable about the Internet and I am very impressed with his skills.  If it is on the Internet, Ray can find it.

----
This class was terrific.  I enjoyed the presentation of the materials and the class discussions.  It has definitely helped to increase my knowledge on the subject and also motivated me to use the internet for research materials.  Ray was very accessible to me, even thuogh I have never met him face to face and he really seemed to care about your questions and comments.

----
Ray is an excellent job at teaching this course.  What's nice is that he puts a touch of humor in his lectures.  He's quick to respond to any question you might have.

----
I was not sure whether this course was mandatory for on-line students, but every UIS student should be required to take this course sometime during their degree period.  The content of this course and the practicality of its delivery by the instructor was an excellent introduction for me and served the intention of the course definition.

----
Ray Schroeder has been an excellent professor this semester.  I have very much enjoyed his lectures, along with his assignments.  He stays very involved in all the discussions (being an internet course, he could easily not do much discussions wise) and gives useful tips, suggestions, and comments.

----
I really enjoyed this class.  I especially liked being able to take the course over the Internet, to be able to hear the lectures at my own time, and attend class when it was convenient for me.  As a result of taking this class, I hope to enroll in more online classes.

----
I enjoyed the class and the instructor.  My understanding of the Internet has grown tremendously.  The information I learned should be very helpful in upcoming classes.

----
Although this class is only 2 credit hours, it involves just as much thought and time as many of my 4 hour classes.  I also wanted to note that this course is very useful and I would highly recommend it to anyone.  I think that the exposure to the Internet and the technology associated with it makes this class a great addition to my educational experience.

----
Even though I felt I knew a lot about the Internt from 4 - 5 years of experience, I discovered so much that I did not know from Ray this particular course.  It has been one of the most informative and enjoyable classes I have taken.  It does seem, however, that the course should be worth more than 2 hours credit considering the countless number of hours spent in reading and research.  Thanks, Ray, for being a great instructor and motivating us to a higher level of Internet intellect.

----
I have learned so much from this class, it is so unbelievable.  Ray was always there to help us anytime with the computer class.  He e-mailed us quickly with help.  He never thought any of our questions were too stupid.  I loved the way you could print the lecture out and then listen to his voice, like an actual lecture...without classroom disruptions.  I looked forward to going to the computer and doing classroom work.  I will miss the class.  Ray always promoted individual thinking and expelled alot of information that we will use in daily life online.  I came into the class internet illiterate and am leaving feeling pretty confident about surfing the "net".
