Dr. Litchfield makes the class very painless. Her quizes are moderately difficult, but she gives many opportunities for you to succeed in her class. She apparently responds better to males than females, so girls beware.

Dr. Litchfield is an amazing teacher. She will give you real world information- no BS! Class is not easy, but challenging. She does a great job of presenting the material.

I have taken several courses with Dr. Litchfield. I have never felt she treated me or anyone else unfairly. I am a female, and I do not believe Dr. L favors either sex in the classroom. I believe Dr. Litchfield favors performance, hard work, dedication, and innovative thinking! If a student has a problem with Dr. L, they need to eval themselves.

Spring 2004. It was difficult, but I learned a lot. We followed the book and went step-by-step in the design process. I am a female and had not trouble with Dr. Litchfield. In regards to quizzes, if you study & learn your chapts you will ace the quizzes. With the bonus questions, I had over a 100 ave. at the end of the sem. Study/ask questions

She is the professor whom I took the most courses from. Of course, I love her teaching style. She is very specific with the critieria and instruction of each assignment which makes a lot of sense. She is always well prepared what to teach and helpful to students. She makes any content sound interesting and look easy. She's the BEST!

ISD 621 was my first class in the Ph.D program, with Dr. BCL, during Spring 2003 and I continued to take two more classes after in Spring 04' and Summer 04'. Her classes are easy because the syllabus is laid out with the objectives and outcomes clearly stated, however, they are hard because it involves hard work, thought, and creativity.

I took Dr. Litchfield during my first semester in graduate school. I had not been a student in 13 years. I was very nervous but she was great. She lets you know what she expects and expects you to do it. Her quizzes make you read. As long as you read you will do fine. I really enjoyed her class and her teaching. She is a great teacher.

I only had one course with Dr. L I feel that she is very professional and a superior professor. Knowledgable of the subject and creative in presentation. If I ever need another course that is taught by Dr. L I will feel comfortable having her as my instructor.

Dr. Litchfield: a person and professor I most respect and admire in all my academic life. What a privilege to be able to learn with who learned with the father of IDD. She is bright, a great human being, VERY intelligent and competent; she is my favorite. Also one of the wisest teachers in USA, with opened doors polices. What a great teacher!!!

In my experience, serious, credible, intelligent students will recognize the quality in this professor who stands out for her creativity, knowledge, and passion for IDD. High expectations from this professor translate to a superior learning experience. This professor is an excellent classroom role model of theory and practice.

She is a great professor and the reason why I decided to stay at the IDD program at USA. I have already taken 4 classes with her and I am hoping I can take more. I always learned a lot in her classes. You have to work for your grade but you are supposed to do that in Grad school.

BCL is a great teacher, great motivator, and all-around great person. She is, without a doubt, one of the best professors in the doc program at South, which is why she is my advisor. She has always been extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile for me, as I'm sure she is with all of her students.

Dr. Litchfield is an outstanding Professor and role model. her classes are always interesting and thought provoking. She is very skilled and talented. Dr. Litchfield Rocks!!!

Dr. Litchfield is not an easy professor, but she is very interesting. Of all the education classes that I have taken, hers has been the best.

I was a little apprehensive at the beginning of the term about whether I would do well in Dr. Litchfield's course because her expectations were so high. However, by the end of the semester, I was more comfortable with the material, and I learned a great deal. Dr. Litchfield truly prepares her students for comps and for their professional careers.

I enjoyed the class. It was very interesting and fun!

Excellent teacher, knows her material, and a great motivator

Dr Litchfield is a great teacher. She should be a model insructor for others teaching at the university level. By applying ID principles at every turn, she actually does what she teaches other to do.

Dr. Litchfield's class was online and it was very educational! Instead of assigning the same projects to each person in the class, she gave us an academic contract and let us pick the ones we wanted to do. It was nice having the flexibility to do the assignment I was interested in doing. The discussions were great and I loved it! She's great!

Great job!

At first I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of projects and required threads, but as time went on I was able to handle the class. Dr. Litchfield is an educated professor and funny at times. Just keep up with the projects and do them correctly and you can make an A in her class.

This was an online course. Dr. Litchfield is knowledgable and can be funny. She can also let the class know when she is displeased with when we posted our threads. Hint: Do your threads early in the week!!

This was an excellent course to take under Dr. Litchfield. The couse was behavioral psychology, but the assignments intregrated psychology into classroom assignmetns that were applicable to teaching. This was the first psychology course that I have taken that I actually learned how to use the concepts in the classroom.

I have profited from all the classes that I’ve taken at USA thus far; however, Dr. Litchfield has done a fabulous job in presenting a course of instruction that was stepped in practical application as well as theory. I have come away from the class with an extensive toolkit and have made immediate use of what I’ve learned in my job context.

I found Dr. Litchfield extremely helpful. She was always available. The class did have a large project but the project was useful for your professional portfolio. The opportunity Dr. Litchfield provided, having us work with real clients, was one that will trully stick with us and benefit us in the future. Dr. Litchfield ROCKS!

I really enjoyed Dr. Litchfield's classes. This is the second class I have had with her and plan to take more! There is alot of work involved but it trully gives you the hands-on experience needed to be successful. She is very interesting and extremely helpful!

Excellent. High expectations, enthusiastic, orgaized, well informed, great communicator, good feedback.

Great teacher! She has high expectations in students producing quality projects but gives ample guidance and opportunities to succeed. If you're interested in the Instructional Design at USA, Dr. Litchfield will be one of your favorite professors.

Dr. Litchfield is a great instructor. She has an open-door policy, and honestly tries to help students who are struggling. Of course, with all of the support that she provides, she expects the students to put forth much effort also, but that is only fair. I really enjoyed this class.

Excellent online instructor!

Excellent motivator. Application of skills in real world setting.

This was the BEST online class ever! Instructor highyly motivated, motivated students and gives you hands-on, real-life applications to learn the material. Excellent instructor!

Great instructor! Very useful course!! I highly recommend it!

Dr. Litchfield is wonderful. She assigns interesting, practical projects that will help you in your career. I have taken many classes from her and would strongly recommend her to anyone. She expects you to work, but you will learn tons in return for your efforts. I wish every professor were as good as she is.

Awesome teacher!

Great class and wonderful teacher.

Great teacher! Very helpful!

Dr.Litchfield did a great job teaching the introductory Instr. Design class. She was very good at explaining the process, what we needed to do to accomplish everything, she gives very good feedback. I would definitely take another class from her.

Requires a lot of work, but it's all worth it in the end, as it is all applicable to your future career. Very helpful and concerned for her students. Interesting class sessions. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Litchfield is very knowledgeable in her field. Although this particular class was a little overwhelming at first, she had a way of keeping me grounded and on-track. I really appreciate her professionalism and expertise. Her success has piqued my interest even more in IDD.

Awesome class. A lot of work, but intrisically rewarding. Thanks

Dr. Litchfield is an excellent instructor who treats students as professionals and expects nothing less in your work. A great experience!

The class is very good at preparing us for using APA guidelines. It is also thought provoking about the writing process.

Great class! Expectations set in the beginning without guesswork. This class was extremely useful in helping prepare pre-dissertation students. Tons of info in a relaxed environment.

keeps in mind the students ability to complete tasks by appropriately managing workload

Helpful class. Gained alot of insight in how to begin my dissertation, what to do if I hit a wall, and an idea of what it takes to complete it.

Enjoyed the class. I like this approach to the class better. I agree that perhaps should take class nearer to end of program. Thanks for all your help.

She keeps your attention by changing task every few minutes. Not a boring "just lecture" instructor. One thing I really like is that she gives out these "gold nuggets" to apply to comps and other course related challenges.

This was a very fun and informative class! It had a lot of work but everything was needed in order to fulfill the objectives. I will be using this information from class in my future work!

Dr Litchfield is a fantastic professor. I learned a lot about designing online courses. Although the material was at times challenging, it was a very rewarding course. I would recommend to anyone to take this course.

Dr. Litchfield was knowledgeable, class was interesting and up to date, and concepts were transferrable to real world application. I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

Dr. Litchfield, thank you so much for all your mentorship these past three semesters. I can not thank you enough. I now know my fate, it's OK. I have learned a lot. I feel I have learned how to be an excellent instructor for my students, and to me, that is what truly matters.

A wealth of knowledge!

There was a lot of busy work, but the main components were useful and helpful.

Overall, the class was very informative and the material was presented clearly. There could have been a little more clarity on the grading, and it seems that some of the material could have been condensed.

Some of the assignments allowed me to see what I needed to do to gain a better focus for my dissertation. :)

Dr. Litchfield was very helpful with sometimes confusing material. I enjoyed the class very much and learned a lot!

Dr. Litchfield has high expectations for her students, but she backs it up with meaningful assignments, thoughtful class threads, and honest assessments. Doing your work ON TIME earns major points. She wants the best for all of her students, and it's clear that she cares through her interactions online. Her classes remind me why I'm in grad school.

Class is fairly straightforward and is not intense as it is a learning tools class. Some powerpoint, a few cool programs like Skype and Audacity. Some basics on statistics that were a bit intense. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the class and always found Dr. Litchfield to be there for me when i had questions. Great teacher!

Good Teacher. Very Helpful!

Good class; some problems with instructions due to new format.

The class had an extremely heavy workload-but I learned tons!

Outstanding professor!

She's one of the best online professors I have ever had. I didn't really want to take the class at first, but she made it quite fun and engaging. I learned a lot.

Dr. Litchfield is an engaging and motivating professor that succeeds in helping students learn.

Dr. L always provides a good bit of work, but it is always practical, authentic, and creative. She is enthusiastic about her work, provides good positive feedback, and always pushes you to do your best. My favorite professor I've had in grad school by far.

She was actively engaged in the online class, offered useful advice when she saw students having difficulty, and returned comments on student assignments promptly. She required that students complete their work to high standards and expected them to do their best work. She was hard but fair.

Fabulous class with a really excellent teacher who knows what it takes to teach online!

Very practical course.

Dr. Litchfield is a fantastic professor. She is devoted and her passion for teaching comes across. The is always improving her courses and uses instructional strategies to add interest and satisfaction to the course.

This has been the best hands-on course in IDD! Dr. Litchfield gives textual and audio feedback and is very encouraging. We were able and encouraged to incorporate an array of emerging technology in our developmental courses. This course is a must for IDer's, expecially if you plan to use web-based instruction in your career.

Outstanding class and professor. She was very helpful, responsive, hands-on, encouraging, and thoughtful. I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

Great, very helpful. Knows her stuff!

Fun class. Dr. Litchfield was very helpful and encouraged creativity in the projects.

I had Dr. Litchfield for an online, 1-credit course. The course was self-paced, which I loved, and Dr. L was really helpful and quick to respond when I needed help or clarification. I'd definitely take one of her courses again.

I really appreciated the quick grading. I also liked the go at your own pace. It made it easy when for weeks I had a lot of time and times when I didn't.

This was a great class. I really like that it was self paced as I was also trying to tackle two other classes at the same time. Dr. Litchfield was beyond helpful. I would definitely take a class from her again.

Enjoyed this class, lots of interesting material presented.

Dr. Litchfield is an awesome professor who goes the extra mile to help her students. She very quickly returns e-mails and phone calls related to her course content and assignments. She spells out the requirements for th course in her course syllabus so there are no surprises for any of the students. Dr. Litchfield is the moldel professor for IDD.

I enjoyed this course!

Communication with teacher was excellent. Quick to reply to student questions.

This class is self-paced. Which was wonderful. Dr.Litchfield is more than willing to help you out with any questions that you have. What to expect: Submit your assignment by due date - she will send back for corrections and it is then due by the end of the course. I wouldn't take this course from anyone other than her!

This class is a lot of work. But Dr.Litchfield is very helpful. I would not take this as my elective again (just due to course content). The teacher is the best though.

This class is a lot of work. But Dr.Litchfield is very helpful and patient. I would not take this as my elective again (just due to course content). The teacher is the best though.

This is an elective - therefore I would have chosen an easier one. However, it is due to course content, not the teacher. Dr.Litchfield is very easy to work with and is a great teacher. She keeps class interesting and the 2.5 hour class flew by.

Dr Litchfield is a great professor. The course was really interesting and provided a vast amount of information about different types of technology that can be utilized in a training environment.

Dr. Litchfield is my favorite teacher ever! She is patient, understanding, and an expert in her field. She will always take the time to help you and genuinely cares about her students' success.

Wow!!! The best teacher in the whole freaking world. The coolest most understanding lady ever. She knows her material and furthermore knows how to teach it. Hey you need to stop reading this rate and hurry up and sign up for this professor. She may change your life! Think I'm joking? Just try her and see for yourself.

Dr. Litchfield is a great teacher. She is very helpful and understanding. I wish all instructors knew how to properly teach like her. I learned a lot of good information that I can use throughout my career. I would love to have her as an instructor again!

You will work..hard. The projects are good and you will learn a lot. Dr. Litchfield can seem harsh sometimes, but she does care and will help you and be frank with you.

Excellent teacher but put your learning pants on! You will work. You will create products, processes, and papers. She's supportive, smart, and fair. Lots of work in this class, all of it relevant and useful.

I really liked the course. I did feel that she was trying to create one place to look for class requirements, but there were too many places you had to go to double check that you did everything.

Dr. Litchfield is a fantastic instructor. The course objectives are extremely clear and grading is fair. She is also very helpful and will work with you with just about anything. I wish I could take another class with her! If you have the opportunity to take a class with Dr. Litchfield, DO IT!

Uses learning activities that are creative and obviously required much time and thought to develop. Allows students to select optional activities of interest or relevance to themselves. She is obviously committed both to creating an effective learning environment for the students and to their success in learning in this class. Terrific instructor.

Dr. Litchfield is a great professor! She really loves teaching and it shows in her class! Take her class if you ever have the chance to take it!

Dr. Litchfield made the hardest task seem easy. I really enjoyed and learned a lot in her class.

Dr. Litchfield is an amazing professor. She goes beyond the extra mile to provide specific and relevant feedback. She adds creativity into her assignments and gives you choices with an academic contract. You will learn a tremendous amount from her courses and from her teaching style.

Dr. Litchfield did a fabulous job teaching this course on how to design online courses. She is dynamic and creative and teaches you in a practical way where you are able to apply the knowledge in your career. The summer courses are fast-paced and this course was one of best I have taken. Even though this course is an elective, you will love it!

Dr. Litchfield continues to be one of my favorite professors ever. She's beyond helpful and knows her stuff inside and out. She's VERY clear about how to be successful in her classes, and as long as you follow her explicit directions, it's hard to do poorly in her class. She always gives personal, thoughtful feedback. Really an excellent professor.

Has realistic expectations, and every project/assignment builds on the last one, and leads directly to the final project. Great way to run a class!

The class will keep you busy, however you will learn so much!

very wonderful and useful class

Nice professor, give feedback timely!

Dr. Litchfield's hard, but super helpful and understanding. She also works hard to make sure she's teaching well!

Designing Online Instruction: Very hands-on. All assignments were worthwhile. No busywork. No silly quizzes.

Dr. Litchfield is a wonderful person but can be a bit disorganized at times. Overall, she did a great job of teaching the class and I would recommend taking her if possible.

Super sweet and interesting lady. Class wasn't too hard, although there was a lot of work. You'll learn a lot from her in the end. Would definitely take her for another class.

Dr. Litchfield was a great instructor. I came into the class with thiking teachers who can't teach teach teachers and that wasn't the case at all.Very well rounded. If you participate and do the assignments (which are not hard)you should have no problems getting an A. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!

Dr. Litchfield had a variety of interesting assignments. She is not a hard grader, so if you put in a moderate effort you will be rewarded. She grades quickly and always gives feedback in a timely way. This is class is what you make of it. If you want to get something out of it, you certainly will.

Great professor. Assigns a lot of work, but you will gain a lot from the class. Not a difficult class just a lot of work. She makes things interesting and fun though.

Dr. Litchfield assigned a great deal of work, however summer semester is shorter, so that was not a surprise. I learned the most that I have learned yet in my PhD courses from her! She made thought provoking questions and assignments that actually applied what you are learning! Fantastic! I highly recommend!

Dr. Litchfield knows her stuff! And she does a great job making a meaningful learning opportunity for her students! I learned so much about Instructional Design Theory and will be able to use so much of what I learned in my classroom teaching!

I went into this class thinking that I might be a bit overwhelmed because of the content, however, Dr. Litchfield is so approachable and intelligent. She has unique ways of explaining the material one on one. I love that she never makes you feel bad about coming to her office or asking a question.

Dr. Litchfield is a great instructor with thought-provoking lessons. She really sets the bar high, but the work is worth the effort! You will learn lots!

She provides great advice and excellent feedback. The class project is ultimately daunting but Dr. Litchfield breaks the tasks down into manageable chunks that one can complete. At the end of the class you have a much better insight into the process and confidence that you can do the work.

The assignments were sometimes unclear and in different sections. Some grading was based on pet-peeves instead of criteria. Feedback was mixed with some being timely and others not for long periods. A few unnecessary tasks. Odd point system that expected tons of work for 10 points while others were more accurate. Great choice of books though.

Dr. Litchfield is an excellent instructor. She takes an intimidating process and shows you how to manage it in portions. She cares about each student and also shares practical tips & strategies that can be useful in your career and for other projects. We are fortunate to have her at our University of South Alabama in Mobile.

Dr. Litchfield has expectations, which I like. If you follow her directions, you will be golden; if you don't, she will let you know. This course was fun and very applicable. No busy work assigned. She gives a lot of feedback throughout the term. :)I look forward to taking another class with her.

Dr. Litchfield explains the terms, phenomenon, and questions in this course. She designed the course well and devoted a lot of time in carefully reading and reviewing our forum discussions, assignments and so on. And she gave clear and helpful feedback. She is really a nice,responsible,and professional professor. She made the course so worthwhile!

I appreciate how Dr. Litchfield walks you through the entire process of project management as it relates to Instructional Design. More than willing to help if needed. Great class!

Dr. Litchfield is professional and super nice.

Dr. Litchfield is extremely knowledgeable about dissertations & provides a practical approach to the process. She gives you feedback to improve your project and helps you feel that you can accomplish the monumental task. She is always extremely prepared and she is a tremendous resource.

I'm taking Dr. Litchfield's Advance Instructional Design course, she assigns us a REAL client for us to experience designing a real course, although it means a lot more work for her. She even invites the author of the textbook to talk with us in a WebEx meeting! She really cares for us and so responsible and knowledgeable. We just LOVE her!

A lot of work so plan your time wisely. Most assignments were very applicablerelevant.

This course was quick and heavy but everything covered was clear. More importantly, everything we did had a reason and the importance was explained. There were a few times during the semester when I wanted to key smash because I couldn't find something quickly, but Dr. Litchfield is awesome about responding to emails, even the stupid ones.

A lot of work in one term, but at least the assignments are applicable to the class.

The assignment is to design a whole class from start to finish. I had previous experience with this, so it was not that bad. If you have not had previous experience doing that, it is going to be a long, hard summer.

The class was not difficult but it was time consuming. All work was relevant to building an online course, really no "busy work". I liked the course because this is the first class in the ID program that we actually get some hands-on experience in ID. Litchfield's feedback was most helpful and she is quick to respond to any correspondence.

LOVED being able to build the class!!

The assignments were applicable to the course, but it requires a lot of work (especially if you take this course in the summer). My only con is course consistency. Assignment instructions are found on separate page(s) from the assignment and makes the course somewhat confusing at times; its very easy to miss something.

I took Dr. Litchfield for an online course. She interacted with the entire class extremely well and gave great feedback in a timely manner. You do have to work hard, but that should be expected at the graduate level!

Takes up a lot of time, but really, it's like no other classprofessor I've taken. Be prepared to work a lot!

A challenging, fast-paced course that Ss can treat as a good simulation of teaching an actual online (OL) course. You'll learn how to produce a variety of instructional formats, give proper feedback, and put the most into the many hours it takes to build an OL course. The end product just might be something of portfolio quality. And no final test!

Dr. Litchfield is the best! She is super nice, helpful, knowledgeable, capable, passionate, creative... Oh, efficient, too! In IDE 711, she taught us many great strategies that we can use to write our dissertation. It makes me feel more confident about my dissertation! Thanks, Dr. Litchfield.

Dr. Litchfield wants students to leave with a real learning experience. She does what she can to be sure that you improve! This was the most hands on course that I have taken in the IDD program. I put more hours of work into this class than I had expected, but I think the end result was worth it. She gives the Best Feedback!

I just LOVE Dr. Litchfield. She really wants to help you think, learn, and get things done. She is nice, supportive, responsible, and amazing!

Dr. Litchfield sets high expectations for her students and for herself! She makes sure that you understand the material and provides opportunity for corrections and improvements. She provides useful and timely feedback in order for performance improvement.

This is by far the best class in the IDD program at USA. It allows the opportunity for application with great feedback from the instructor

There are no exams, but be prepared to work for your grade! Dr. Litchfield paired us up with a client for this class. During the first half of the course, you get a lot reading and homework. The second half of the class is working with your client, completing assignments that go into the final product for the client--culminating into a notebook.

This class is designed for the student to act in the capacity of instructional design agent and work with an actual client. Unlike other classes in our IDD program, I got a taste of what it is like working in the field-- building a professional relationship with my client and developing project management skills. Litchfield is a wonderful mentor.

I loved the overall aspect of the class. Even though it was very tedious work I enjoyed learning how to create an OL course.

Dr. Litchfield cares for her students and pushes them to succeed.

Dr. Litchfield is awesomely prepared, makes class worthwhile, and motivates students to do well!

Glad that I have taken this course with Dr. Litchfield. She really wants us to get things done. I got my three chapters of my dissertation done in this course with Dr. Litchfield. LOVE her and the course!

Dr. Litchfield will give you every opportunity to succeed. As long as your have the self-motivation to push through a course, you'll be fine. If you're in a 500-600 level course you should expect the assignments to be taxing, time-consuming specifically. But the assignments are practical and the feedback has helped me become a better student.

Has a variety of assignments which is great; involved online professor!

Dr. Litchfield is a wonderful professor and understands the importance and labor it takes to create solid online courses. There is a LOT of work to do for the class, but the work is 100% enriching!!!!!!! Taking this class will cause you to grow as an instructional designer as well as increase your respect for those who create online instruction.

Dr. Litchfield is very helpful and amazing.

She is very fair and helpful throughout the course. She is easily accessible through e-mail or even a telephone call. Very good instructor will take her again if she is a choice.

Dr. Litchfield is awesome! She makes you work for the grade, but in the end if you do the work, it is super beneficial to your educational quest!

Great class! I learned a lot!

Dr. Litchfield makes certain that a class is not merely knowledge-based. She always provides opportunities for application. I always learn.

This professor believes in quality and leads by example.

Probably one of the hardest classes I've ever taken, but a very rewarding experience. It pushed me to be the best that I could be in my work. I think it also gave me a window into what I want to do with my PhD:)

This class is work intensive, but wow did I learn! I cannot believe how much I learned from Dr. Litchfield! This class is what graduate school is all about!!

Great experience, learned much.

Enjoyed this class and all of its components.

Awesome and motivational professor!

A veteran and yet tech savvy professor who will go out of her way to reach out to you by any mean necessary if you have concerns or she has concerns regarding your schoolwork. Best of all, there were no test preparations when working on the online courses. Its challenging, and yet a fun class to take.

BCL is a great teacher who gives great feedback and motivates her students. She has been a real asset to USA students and faculty alike. We will all miss her terribly. Thank you for all that you have done and all you mean to us all!

An amazing professor who pays a lot of attention to detail, and expects nothing but excellence. She gives a lot of work but there's much to learn from doing all that work. The things you learn really stick!
