Yes 10 100.00% No 0 Unk 0 NA Result 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes What would you change about this program? 10 100.00% 0 0 It was very fun and educational. Helped that I had great teachers. Thanks to them I have a great job. I liked how it opened my eyes to new things That it was based on what the class wanted to learn as a whole. That we also touched a little on everything. I like the internship aspect. You gain a lot of knowledge working with others than sitting in the classroom. good instructors and class offerings I liked that we took alot of trips and got to alot of hands on things. I really enjoyed every aspect of this program from the animal classes to the soils and weed classes. It was a lot of fun and my fellow classmates were always fun and helpful. We were like one big family and it was very fun. I will miss all these people who I have developed a relationship with. I enjoyed the one on one interaction with my instructors, as well as the education and variety of courses offered. I liked that we not only spent time in the classroom but we also went out to farms and did alot of hands on stuff. It was a good experience and I enjoyed the small cass feeling. Are class we very close. I liked that a lot of the program was hands on. 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Monday, September 19, 2011 Feedback Western Wisconsin Technical College Things being more organized. I would have changed the knowledge of the some of the instructors. I don't feel that the animal science teacher has a strong knowledge base of dairy- in the dairy state. I think this is something that needs to be improved. I also feel that I was shorted when our crop/soil instructor was gone- the teacher was very bias and not extremely knowledgable. I would have more responable teacher Tracy that would work more on focusing on the knowledge that the students need and help students. Something I would change about this program is the organization of some things. Most things were organized but some where not. NOTHING I would nnot like to have three hour classes that was not fun at all! i do not like to sit for more than two hours in a row. MORE FIELD TRIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to have classes that are 2 hours or less. 3 hour classes are long and too much work time when learing could be done I would of liked to learn more on feeding programs and more about GPS during crop studies because of the great use of it now. Keep our Fridays off. That was nice.
