• "This was the right course at the right time for me. I had just created our school library website--with much struggle. During the course I discovered many ways to make the site better and I found more efficient ways to work in Dreamweaver. I am sorry the course is over."
• "Thank you *so* much for this class. It was excellent. Please offer intermediate & advanced Dreamweaver, too! I already have recommended this course to several other people."
• "I enjoyed the course immensely! I am lifelong learner and you will see more of me online. I like the flexibility online provides and I have time to read the assignemnts throroughly as well as the lectures. If I get stuck, I ask for help just like in class. This has been ideal for me as I had surgery in the middle of this class and still managed to keep up."
• "I really did enjoy this class. The material was easy understand and I really picked up a lot of things from Dreamweaver I would not have been able to on my own. I would recommend anyone to take this class if they are unfamiliar with the functions of Dreamweaver."

Robert Fuller is a great teacher and would like to attend any class he may give."
• "Wonderful course! This was my third attempt to find someone who could explain DW in an easy to understand format -- this course answered many of my questions and made DW understandable!"
• "I started programming webpages using HTML. For a while I used Frontpage, but it caused too many problems. I taught myself Dreamweaver 4, but I felt that I had missed some things. I feel that this course has answered several questions that I had after I taught myself DW 4. I hope that I will be able to take the advanced course at a later date."

• "This was a great class! As a novice, I feel I learned enough to begin using Dreamweaver with some confidence. I loved being able to do it at home on my own time schedule, and the discussion area was an extremely helpful way to get help as well as learn from others questions. I thought it was a clear and easy to follow course."
• "The course was extremely thorough, well planned and thoughtout. I learned more about Dreamweaver than I thought I would. I thought the lessons were a bit long, but I believe in order to gain a complete understanding of Dreamweaver, the lessons had to be. Excellent course!"
• "This course is one of the best organized that I have taken. The examples are exactly what I envision being necessary in an online class. Detailed and requiring one to work through what was learned in the lesson. I would recognize any class taught by this instructor to virtually anyone: novice to advanced user."

• "Excellent resource. I'm working on replacing my 'Front Page' web pages. Thank you."

• "This was my first online course. I came away impressed. I tried to learn Dreamweaver MX on my own and ran into barriers and frustration. For the most part these problems were conceptual issues that you addressed in the early lessons. With that foundation in place, the learning became enjoyable. My hope is that you will offer an intermediate level class to cover topics that did not fit into the limited number of lessons available. Of great personal benefit were your additional reading assignments from the web. You provided a lot of information on related subjects, such as how to choose picture formats, how to choose fonts, use of colors, finding additional resources, good and bad navigation practices, browser differences and other usability subjects. While not the subject of the course or of the lessons, the additional education was significant and you answered questions on these topics. I know I speak for many of your students in saying that you took the time to guide them through the course, no matter what their situation. Some had just inherited an existing web site and needed to learn how to maintain it quickly. You helped them with that. Others were building new web sites. You offered advice about whatever problems they were facing. Still others had been around the block and you offered advice and resources to get them pointed in the right direction. I applaud you for not only seeing that the students met the course objectives but for helping the students to meet their personal objectives for the class. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge, for your helpful attitude and for making this class well worth the time and money I invested in it."
