Student Comments
“I enjoy the modules. I find them interesting and informational. they
are easy to read and follow. I think they work well with this course.” J.
Layne – BAS170
“I think the program is quite valuable, and a great interactive teaching
tool. It keeps my interest for the most part, and through the different
activities I believe I am learning some great aspects of running a
business. I also believe I have learned several good strategies for
things like advertising, and choosing a target market through the
program. I honestly have no complaint about the tool, so keep up the
good work!” M. Rainwater – BAS170
“I like that the modules are easy to use. This makes the learning fun
rather than spending the time trying to figure out how to use them.
Good Job!” H. Lucas – BAS170
