Student CommentsTaking courses through the College of Agriculture is all about having flexibility. As a working professional who frequently travels, the video CD's will allow me to stay current with the coursework via laptop while away from home. This is the third course I have taken and have not had any problems. Great job! The new WebCT / Breeze format is great. It gives me control of the course. The technology worked quite well. The reliability of delivery was excellent. The folks in charge of distribution did an excellent job. I knew what was expected of me at all times and the requirements were easy to comply with due to the ease and efficiency of this learning program.
