* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The same teacher that I had problems with the entire semester had a terrible teaching method. He would just read off slides, we would have no practice and no repetition and were just expected to go to lab every week and complete the assignment that we did not know how to do. This is why I did not finish my last assignment (and I have never not turned in an assignment in my life, until this one)*** The assignment was not well explained or put together and I emailed the teacher multiple times, but got no responses, and asked for help from multiple people, including the Tech department at ISU, but no one knew how to help me either. Besides this one class I had a great time with the rest of my classes and adventures over in England. |

| Comments: | This is the course/teacher that I had such a poor experience with and why I am rating this class as a zero. Yes, I actually learned so cool things while taking this class, but it was because of me, because I had to teach myself the entire semester. |
