Online Student Support

--This was my first online class and I really liked that I could do things on my on time. I am a person that doesn’t like to be lectured to so this class was great for me. After taking the class I think I know myself better knowing what type of person I am.--2007 PDC Online Student

--I liked how we did not have to be face to face to communicate with another student.  It allowed me to say what I wanted to say because it’s always easier to speak to people over the internet.--2007 PDC Online Student

--I enjoyed the online textbook because it allowed for me to put my ideas down "on paper" through the various journals. I enjoyed the discussion boards because it allowed for Socratic discussion and to interact with people with different points of view.--2007 PDC Online Student
