WEBCT ORIENTATION FEEDBACK (LINK TO STATISTICAL SUMMARY)
UNIT 1
• Culture shock info and safety video helpful. • Took a lot of time to do. • Assignments helped me to think about safety and other concerns of travel. •Preparation for the trip was really good, but not clear on how to finalize credit on return. • A lot of the tips I kept in mind at all times. • Safe travel abroad could be slightly more specific to country and gender of student. • For experienced travelers, may be less helpful, but for those who have never traveled, helpful. • Needed more information on how we would contact NMSU professor, be tested. • More safety information and info about in country transportation. • Could use more information about culture shock and how to cope. • Could use more information on how much host currency you shoudl bring for the first couple of days.
UNIT 2
• Need more accurate info on cost of travel between cities, plus extra costs if arriving early or departing late. • Provide information on how to relate to your host family in the first few days of being there. • Helped me investigate issues specifric to traveling to Argentina. • Need more information about ebsites linked to hostels, budget air-fare, eurrailo passes, etc. Also need to recommend that students obtain travel books usch as "Let's Go." • Too general. South of Spain is completely different. • Would like to have known more about taxies and cost to get to host family. • Links to material need to be better. • Info on culture shock important. I thought as an independent person I would have no problems, but I was very wrong.
Overall
I feel that these quizzes have adequately prepared me for many problems which I may face. Furthermore, they have ecouraged me to consider many different circumstances, concerns, and possibilities during my study abroad opportunity. Finally, the resources that this course has provided give me even more of an edge and tool to solve problems on my own throughout my travels and schooling.
These 2 quizzes helped me a lot. They opened my eyes of how much I need to prepare for my trip and my stay in Spain. There are many things I need to do before I leave.
