In a response of at least 100 words, please discuss your experiences in the online classroom. Here are some suggested questions/prompts. You may choose to answer one, some, or all of them.  What in the organization of this online classroom worked for you? Did you enjoy the major assignment by major assignment organization of the modules, or would you prefer daily or weekly modules? What changes would you like to see made to the modules? Was the information provided in the Getting Started module helpful for you? What information do you wish had been included? Was any information unnecessary? Should any information from that first module be moved elsewhere in the course? Discuss your experiences with the free online textbook. Did you enjoy having access to free materials rather than paying for a physical book, or would you rather have a printed textbook for the readings? Were there any changes you’d like to see to the online textbook?   *To be candid, I’ve made a lot of changes to the course design and organization this summer (and, as an English department, we are working to make additional changes in the near future). I’m not necessarily looking for only positive feedback (though if you like something, please tell me so I know not to change it!); I’m open to constructive criticism here as well — professionally delivered, of course 😉 

Garden Living Garden Living, Inc. is a lawn furniture company that has been around for many years.
