This is my final class for my Master's degree. It is the second course I had with you, and I was so excited to be taking my final course with you! Both classes I have had with you have taught me so much. You provide such meaningful learning opportunities. All of the assignments you have for us are engaging and purposeful. I really enjoy that I never feel our assignments are "busy work". I think you have done an AMAZING job using technology to make an online course the best it can be.
-
Great job in this course and what you shared. You are very passionate in your field. It is my hope that we will be able to use some of these resources in the future.
-
I genuinely enjoyed the class overall, so kudos to you for all your planning and efforts that have paid off!
-
Thanks for a great experience, overall, one of the best courses I have taken in grad school.
-
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
-
Keep up the great work, you're someone I look to as an expert in technology and education and I hope to stay in touch. I wish you taught my next class too!
-
The best course I have taken at Dominican!!! Will definitely sign up for your other courses, if they are on my list!
-
This was an outstanding course. You are incredibly knowledgeable and it was amazing having you as an instructor.
-
That I really enjoyed her class. It was unique and engaging. I never dreaded doing an assignment which is extremely rare for me, so thank you!
-
You are a great professor. I really enjoyed your class and learned a lot.
-
You have a very efficient set up, and are an amazing instructor that has provided SO MANY great resources/links/tools. Thanks for a great course!
-
I enjoyed this class, and hope to learn with you again in the future!
-
Thanks! I really appreciate the hard work and the feedback!
-
She’s doing great and is a great instructor and I wish more professors at XXX were as organized and straight forward as her.
-
Your structuring of the course around blogging was really useful to me as a learner and a professional. It gave us autonomy and accountability, and I could tell who was really engaged with the content and able to apply it to their own experiences. I benefited a lot from learning this way and appreciated the flexibility and way it made me really think. Thank you!
-
I appreciate your creativity in an online setting! There are several tools I will be using even after this class is done in no small part because you did a great job demonstrating how. I happen to know one of the other students in this class through work, and in the third week or so, we had a chat about how--despite how overwhelming it was at times with so many new types of assignments--we were learning SO MUCH. Thank you for this semester, and have a great summer!
-
I loved this course. I loved how it wasn't the typical discussion board postings, since I often had a hard time completing those. EDU 776 was definitely one of my favorite courses I've taken at Dominican.
-
I appreciate all the work and effort she puts into her classes.
-
I learned a lot and I never had a class like this but it was such a fun and new learning experience. I liked the blogging and think I will continue to blog after this class. Thank you for a great course.
-
I learned so much from being in your class, and I am so grateful to have had you as a teacher! Thank you for all you've done, for your generosity and trust toward me (especially during my vacation), and for challenging me to work harder on myself and my digital presence. Have a wonderful summer!

You are great professor. I really enjoyed your class and learned a lot.

-
Thank you for challenging me. This was something that I never thought I would have interest in, let alone how to incorporate it into my classroom. I am able to change that, and not be so scared in how I go about posting things. It can be positive! In addition, I truly liked the blogs and this was a new for me. I would love to continue that in my profession and my journey as a mom in the future after I graduate.
-
You gave good constructive feedback. I always appreciate feedback that is useful and not given in a negative manner. Thank you! I found this class to be one that provided information that can be used in both my professional and personal life.
-
Thank you for being an excellent professor. You helped me come out from my comfort zone.
-
Thanks so much for all of your efforts and responsiveness!
-
This course really challenged me to think outside of the box, and try out new things. Thank you.
-
Now, as this is my last course at Dominican, I can say that your courses were the best among 10 courses I took. They are engaging, fun, relevant! Not just plain text reading! I've learned many new skills (PLN, creating website or google form, blogging just to name a few). I know I have not mastered them, as it takes practice, but I had a great jumpstart! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are a wonderful educator! Wishing you all the best!
-
Thanks for putting so much work into this course! It was really well done! I learned a lot and will use these resources in the future.
-
I appreciate the energy that you brought to your introductory videos each week! I also appreciate your quick turnaround time with grading assignments and the feedback you gave both on our blogs and other assignments submitted. This class pushed me outside of my comfort zone and I am glad that I tried my best to immerse myself in this new learning experience!
-
I loved this class! Thank you!
-
Thank you so much for a great learning experience!
-
This was such an interesting course and I learned so much. I picked up so many new tools, tips, and knowledge that will definitely help me with remote learning in the fall. I have already shared so much of the tips we learned with my colleagues, and I loved that the different projects we created could even be used in our own classrooms.
-
Thanks for being a great online professor. I'd love to attend any in person classes/workshops/trainings that you lead.
-
It was great, and you communicated very well! Thank you so much!
-
Honestly a GREAT course.
-
Nicole, you had great interactions and feedback (Both positive and constructive). I really enjoyed being able to see feedback on my work but also take away feedback you shared with others. Thank you for a great class!
-
Thank you for a great course!
-
Thank you for making this online course clear and easy to follow. I will be saving all of the resources to further my career!
