The web based learning was a HUGE help. Saved a lot of time. I wish all my classes were web-based!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think that web classes allow students to learn the material sufficiently. I think that quizes should be manditory, it would help me to better learn the material. I thought that there would be more realworld experience in this class. Even though it is just an intro course, getting to meet with real PR officials would increase the level of learning in the class. The teacher loves teaching the class and shows great interest in the subject matter. However, I feel that I learn a lot more attending classes such as prm 252, where real experience is applied. I do not like web based classes!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really liked that this course was web enhanced. It is difficult for me to take down lots of notes and concentrate on what is being said at the same time. With the notes on the web I could give me full attention to the discussion and also the notes are very organized so that helps too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Chuck...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chuck has a great personality that shows through his teaching.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck Hammersly is the best Professor I have ever had! And I don't think he's being paid enough. I hope this University never looses his ability, experience, and enthusiasim which is passed onto the students creating the ultimately best College to be involved in and graduate from at NAU.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for a GREAT semester Chuck!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck has great enthusiasm for parks and recreation. I really enjoyed having him as my professor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only wish the class could have lasted longer. I left class each day with a big smile on my face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teacher was awesome. Emailed whenever needed help, and replay was really quick. Class was very organized, learned a ton about subject, and hope to have further classes with Chuck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fun Class!!!

It was a pleasure taking this class. Thank you!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Hammersley is a very good professor, i enjoy taking classes from him. His enthusiasm for the subjects he teaches helps keep the class interesting!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLAY Program was great! I enjoyed this class. I enjoy Chuck's lectures.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck is a great professor! Going to his class every morning was like having a pep talk for the rest of the day. He is much more than a teacher, he is a motivational speaker and a great resource regarding living a full and meaningful life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was unhappy with this class. If the essence of the class is how to plan a good program then why didn't anyone come to class? Is a class not a program? Why should I listen to an intstructor about program planning when the instructor has given up on programming for his own class. Maybe a good program should not be based on good attendance but I can assure you that a good class never has trouble drawing students. This class should not be so big and should not be web based or web enhanced. The only material we were graded on was minute details from a random text. We were never tested on our ability to plan a program only on our ability to regurgitate information provided in a book or on a website. The overall message of the course was unclear. Is someone plans a program where no one gets hurt are they good programmer? Are they considered a proffesional in prm, simply because they understand the concept of risk managment? This was far and above the worst PRM class I have taken in my time

here at NAU. The course work was time consuming but not educational.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The strong web influence in this class was definitely a drawback. More of a combination betweeen web and class lecture would have been more beneficial. Pam's PRM252 was an example of a good balance. The web section made the tests and quizzes to easy and no information was retained.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thought that having notes,quizes, assignments, and tests on the web is a great idea. At any time you can get the notes or see how you are doing in the class, that is very helpful. I really like the web based class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck was an awesome teacher and I am looking foward to having him again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall the class was very informative and well organized. The only area that I feel needs a little more development is the computer application portion of this class. I feel as if there should have been a little more in class lecture time spent on explaining how to do the program. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The class was challenging and the instructor was extremely enthusiastic!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not like web-enhanced classes. Although I do like having the class notes on-line I would prefer tests and quizes to be in the classroom. I have spoken to many students, and they agree with me. I know it seems easier to have this stuff on-line, but in the long run it wastes time. Most students prefer the traditional test day in class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt that the CLASS program was an excellent addition to the course. I feel that this is necessary software for any course facilitator. I felt that the software was very user unfriendly, however Dr. Hammersley's workbook was extremely helpful and explained all aspect of the program in detail. I feel that any student that had problems with this section of the class was due to

their own laziness and not due to a lack of effort and informational material provided by the instructor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Web courses are divine!

It is hard to attend or become involved in a class that provides no incentive to come to class

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tough project... takes time but great class!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel that the web based testing is somewhat too easy. In addition, I find that I forget the information more quickly with this format. While it is a convenient form of learning, it also provides the student with an opportunity to take a lax approach to their studies. In my experience this results in less information absorbed initially, and even less information retained. Still, Chuck's enthusiasm, real life examples, and up to date information, in lecture, are enough to balance the material for any motivated student.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRM 383 was an informative class. The term project definitely challenges the student to completely understand the concepts and practices of a commercial recreation business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C Hammersley is very positive and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, web based classes do not work out well for me because it is too easy for me to slack off and not attend class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Professor needs to take into consideration the point of veiw of the student asking for help, instead of reading e-mails on his computer while the student is trying to talk to him. At this point, the student is only assuming that someone at the desk two feet away is listening, only to find out that not a word was heard when the professor chuckles at what he has read and looks up

with a blank stare that says, did you have something to say? Also, when asking for help or just coming to check on something with the professor, the student does not enjoy being put down and certainly could do without the professor

making the student feel stupid. But other than that, what a great course!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great class and a great professor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck is an excellent instructor and a great advisor. He has done a wonderful job with this class and the on-line services are awesome.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was very happy with the two web assisted courses I took this semester (275, 383). I beleive we covered a lot of important material, and Chuck was very helpful. Although, I believe that some more thought provoking activities in place of some of the quizes may be more beneficial to putting out better prepared graduates. Yet, I am starting to notice the benefit of the repetition

(from previous courses) in the quizes. Obviously, I am not yet a graduate or a professional in the field of recreation, but I do think the above seems quite evident. Also, I think it is important to mention that Chuck has a lot of students and many of us have a lot of questions; yet, their are only so many hours in the day and Chuck keeps very busy. Would an assistant of some sort be beneficial?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Hammersley is an excellent example of a competent and versital professor. His ability to challenge his students, while providing advice and direction, has led many of us to excell in opportunities outside of our programs. Dr. Hammersley is truely an inspiration to all members of the NAU community.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I truly enjoyed this class. Except, the textbook is the worst text book I have ever encountered in a classroom setting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck is an amazing professor! My only piece of constructive criticism for him would be that he needs to be careful in being so aggressively critical - it really doesn't encourage students to interact/participate in the lectures or ask questions about things.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chuck gives great explanations and stories to help us learn.

Dr. Hammersley was an excellent in helping whenever I asked a question, he was always available to help. I enjoyed class and I am very glad that courses are available over the internet so I can further my education at my age. Thank you for having professors with Dr. Hammersley knowledge to instruct classes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think there should be more detailed and clear guidelines to the assignments. I found it to be frustrating to recieve a low grade on a project I spent so much time on, and didn't realize that I wasn't doing the right thing. I think more details for the large assignments would be nice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

interesting course. my first web course, so i didn't know what to expect. hard to rate the professor though he was available the few times i contacted him

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck is an awesome guy and one hell of a teacher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time I have approached the instructor this semester about problems I was having in this class I felt I was not given his full attention. Sometimes it is nice when the instructor treats you like a person, not just another student he has taking a web course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I enjoyed the class very much, particularly for my first web class. Everything was outstanding.
