I wholeheartedly second Rondina's comments about Mark Lowe's agriculture class at the Virtual Institute. Also, I want to add that the format is something that we need to see more of. Mark provided assignments to complete and turn in to him. The comments he returned were extremely helpful and made me THINK. There comes a point in our education when we need to apply what we are learning and receive feedback. This class provided that opportunity. This class was an out of the ballpark home run.
