| Additional Comments |
I took Charles Williamson through a summer online course in 2009. It must be stated that Charles Williamson had never taught an online class before and was learning how to use blackboard along with the students.
The instructor for the course goes out of his way to help the students succeed in the class. He would create several online videos and post them on Youtube for students to watch if the students had problems with handouts that he posted through the course website. If you have any questions for the instructor, he would promptly reply to an e-mail and answer any inquiry.
He required:
- Discussion posts in response to articles in the textbook
- Three quizzes over required weekly readings
- Disciplinary Analysis Essay
- Synthesis Essay
- Annotated Bibliography
- Research/Argumentative Paper
For each paper in the course, he groups students together to form online peer editing sessions. Since the class was online, a paper was due each week of the course.
Grading:
Charles Williamson is a tough grader when it comes to papers, so be sure to put in as much effort as possible. I would not plan on taking this course for an easy A. I made an A in the course, but I had to work my tail off. The quizzes and discussion board posts for each week are not bad, but the papers are graded fairly hard. The instructor is not unfair, but count off for errors that most teachers would allow to slide by.
If you want to learn how to write effectively, take this professor. If you want an easy A, then I would suggest taking someone else.
