[Liked best] "The teacher! Absolutely the best support I have ever had in a class. The lessons were fantastic. There was a wealth of information and it was presented extremely well. It was so organized and you just keep building on what you learn each week.

"Deb let us know exactly what her expectations were and made us live up to those demands and expectations. And at the same time she gave such great feedback to us as we went. Her answers to any question went way beyond the stock answer! She really explains."

"DON'T let students go back to using filler text. And DO make them continue to do a new page for each week. I found it amazing how many times I thought I knew something but in trying to do it again found I only kind of knew it. Repetition is the key to success! GREAT CLASS. AWESOME. WONDERFUL. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS and yes, I know I am yelling but I am hoping Vikki will hear me!!"

Deanna:
"I have to say that I began this course with some apprehension having never taken an online class before. It was hard to imagine that one could get the same quality of instruction as would be available in a "traditional" classroom setting but I was blown away! LVS has not only met my expectations buy by far surpassed them. What did I like best? QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY! Deb was fantastic in her support. Her lesson plans were easy to follow and she was prompt to give easily understood answers when asked a question. She never made me feel uncomfortable about my level of knowledge and encouraged and praised me as the level increased. I highly recommend this course."

Joe Robinson:
[Liked Best] "The way it is set up and the amout of material that is covered in such a short time. And the instructor Deb Hoffman is just phenominal! Very helpful and a good teacher."

Kristal Fadtke:
"I learned a tremendous amount in just a short six weeks. The instructor, Deb, is first-rate. The classroom board is a wonderful forum to learn more than what is presented in the prepared lessons."

Nada:
"The teacher (Deb) was very thorough and responsive. It is so nice to have that resource available. She has the patience of a saint!"

C.Y. Davis:
"I have taken several LVS classes and they have all been good, but this is the best one yet! Deb (the instructor) must live with her computer. She was punctual and patient, and explained in Detail EVERY question even the dumb ones and those she had answered before.

" She is a GREAT addition to the LVS staff."

Linda Borders:
"It's impossible to name one thing that I liked best about this class. The large amount of material covered was presented in an easy to understand and professionally written style. The instructor, Deb H, is the best! She was always available to help in any way she was needed. She gave such detailed feedback on your lesson that you knew she had thoroughly reviewed it. This class was more than worth the cost and I've recommended it to several people."

Janet MacGregor:
“Deb as the instructor - Terrific! She has an intuitive sense of her students and a mastery of coaching them where they are. One of the best instructors I've had in the multitudes of online classes I've taken.

Content flowed in a manner that connected the dots. Deb's personal observations and suggestions were very helpful. The additional resources are invaluable.

Great Class and Instructor!!!!!!!”

Roberta Dugan:
"That's hard to say cause I like SO much about it. I learned a LOT but I have to say that DEB was what I liked the most about the class. I was really frightened upon starting… she made me feel comfortable-and never EVER stupid. I had a rough time during the second week and she was so patient with me. If I had had a less kind and patient instructor, I might not have made it through this class! She not only helped me make it through-but I am very proud of what I accomplished. I found myself wanting to do my best job because of her!”

Karen:
“The material that was covered, and the instructor was so kind in answering everyones questions… A very informative course… can't wait to start Build2!”

Jodi:
“Deb is amazingly helpful and always there to answer questions, even when the answers are pretty obvious.”

Alexandria King:
“The wonderfully written, step-by-step lessons. They were easy to follow and are a great resource to have for follow up.

The ever patient and encouraging Deb Hoffmann. She was very helpful, responded quickly to questions and kept me going even though there were times I was ready to give up. She made it fun and interesting too.”

Craig:
“Lots of detail presented in an easy-to-handle way. Was able to balance schedule with everyday life. Instructor was extremely helpful and quick to provide constructive feedback.”

Beth:
“First, Deb is a lovely person and a great instructor. Her lessons break down complex material into reasonable pieces and she is always encouraging, supportive and remarkably available online. Second, this is my first experience with online learning. I love the flexibility of it--doing assignments when I have time--and chatting with people from all over--Germany, France, etc. Very cool. And the price can't be beat!”

David Bryce:
“Deb had the ability to take something that could possibly be a bit dull for some people (I find coding fun myself) and making a fun thing. She had fun bits in the lessons and in her comments on our efforts. She was very good at encouraging students having problems, she made us all feel good about what we were doing, and her responses to our lesson postings were very quick.”

Tom Ferguson:
“How much interactive time we got with the teacher.”

Anne:
“I loved reading through the lessons and finding that Deb had answered or made a funny comment to just what I was thinking or pondering. Deb also provided excellent feed-back to all the students on the board and was SO helpful individually to me and the others.”
