Which topic did you like best? Why did you like this topic best?
Java: It seems to be a powerful language , and to be very versitle.
HTML: I was more familiar with the HTML, so I liked the information better. I was also able to learn a few more things that I had already known.
Java: I did like the Java, but I do wish their could have been a couple more assignments on "Application Programming". Similar to the Stadard Dev. program. I know the class is programming for the WEB, but we spent alot of time on Java that's why I say we could have done more application programming.
Java: It gave me an opportunity to really get an understanding of what actually takes place behind some the fancy home pages that I see on the internet.
Java: Java was relatively more interesting to me because of its growth. It will continue to become an explosive, dynamic, highlevel object oriented language, in which many individual companies will use for software development. Also it seems to be a cutting edge language and at the forefront in terms of system development. And that is where I like to be.
Java: Because I have learned and experienced in different coding for the Web programming class. I really enjoyed doing a code for the moving objects. I can truely say that I have learned alot about java.

Syracuse instructors made three visits to JSU during the spring semester. Were these visits helpful? Why or why not?
Yes they were helpful, and seemed to be very knowledgeable.
The visits were helpful to me in a strange sort of way. I was at least able to put a face to the voice. It is a little hard just listening to someone talk without knowing their mannerisms.
Yes, it actually gave us a chance to sit down and talk with the instructors on a one on one bases.
Yes, It gave me a chance to get a feel for and see who I was actually talking too.
Yes the visits were helpful. Mainly because I had an opportunity to actually see the prof., verbally talk to the prof., and have one on one conversations with the professors. Also one visit in particular consisted of lecture, and I believe that felt wonderful because we had the opportunity to ask personal questions and get to know the professors.
Yes, because I got a chance to actually see the people and also ask for help when I began to get stuck on the assignment that was given to me.

In your opinion, how important is video to distance learning? | 5.3 | 1.11 |
(1 = Very little, 4 = Somewhat, 7 = Very much) | ||
Overall, how was TANGO as a method of course delivery? | 5.3 | 0.75 |
(1 = Poor, 4 = Adequate, 7 = Excellent) |
Specifically, how could the method of course delivery be improved?
need audio between student and teacher.
I think that having the video working for the next class will be very helpful. It was hard not being able to see the instructor while they talked.
If we could have the video more often, this would have the learning more a little better. Also if there was two way speaking.
For this being my first time having a class that was given by satelite I must say that I prefer acually live interaction with a teacher.

Improve on better sounding and/or try to give more example or demonstrations on paper.
