Yo guys, I'm considering doing some courses from Ohio University's Ecampus next year. I've heard good things, but I'm still a bit cautious. Do any of you know which instructors on the Ecampus are easiest to understand and approachable? It would be great if I could get a leg up before diving in. Thanks!
Sure! I would recommend checking out Ohio University's Ecampus website, where they usually provide faculty profiles. By reading these, you can gain a sense of an instructor's academic background, teaching philosophy, and potentially, their communication style.
However, the best way to gauge an instructor's communication style and approachability is probably through student feedback. You can find this through websites like RateMyProfessors.com, where Ohio University students often leave reviews about their professors. You might find students offering insight about their experiences with the instructor's clarity, helpfulness, and approachability, which are all aspects you're interested in.
In addition to student feedback, you can look up the courses you're interested in and reach out to the listed instructors. Send them an email introducing yourself, mentioning that you're considering their course, and asking any specific questions you have. This approach not only gives you an idea of how communicative and approachable a professor might be, but it also helps you make initial contact, which can be beneficial when you're taking distance learning courses.
Remember each student's learning style is unique, and what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you. So, take any recommendations with a grain of salt and don't hesitate to probe further on your own. Best of luck with your Ecampus experience!
