21. Not sure.

22. Once again i don't know what the hell NING is???

23. Again, being that it is early in the class, I have not used the Ning network for help or networking yet. I do, however, plan to and see it as a very valuable opportunity for us as students.

24. I don’t really use the Ning network so I don’t have much to contribute to that section.

31. Not really sure.

32. I have no ideals on how to make it more helpful than it already is.

42. I like the way it is

43. I don't know much about it so I don't have any ideas to contribute

44. I haven't really used the Ning network yet since it is just the first week of class. But I think that it will come in good use once I start having questions about homework and problems and I can ask fellow students to see if they can help me out.

45. No suggestions

46. More people need to become active members.

47. I do not have any, never heard of "Ning" before.

48. You could probably put some surveys on there but make them fun surveys like music, or games or something like that.

49. I have been unable to get on it yet because I have been absent but once I am approved for the Ning account, I will let you know! :(

50. I don't really think the social network is absolutely necessary. Facebook would have been ok.

51. I don't believe that Ning helps class students much at all. Considering that no class materials are on Ning, I believe that many students don't have any interest in participating in it.

52. I honestly have not been on it yet.

53. I haven't used Ning.

54. I think that people could arrange study sessions and such through the network, and that would be very helpful.

55. No suggestions. I do not plan to use the Ning network at all this semester.

56. I am sorry but I have not been able to go into the Ning thing but I will. However, I sense as though all these social networks are becoming too many to deal with given the fast academic load and life.

57. I am not that familiar with the Ning network just yet. As the semester progresses I'm sure I'll have more ideas. I have never had a class that offers so many helpful tools, but I love it!

58. i did not attend the Ning network, so i do not know.

59. Can't answer, haven't been on Ning yet, but I will!

60. Posting sample test and homework questions where students can work them out together.

61. I don't really access the Ning network that much. It would help if there were fewer groups to keep up with. When I get on the computer to study stats I have to pull up Blackboard, CourseCompass, Ning and the goggle groups.

62. I have a hard time using technology; I'm not good with computers. So I will probably not be using Ning very often this semester.

63. I'm actually confused on how to get onto the Ning network, and I will be talking to you about that after class today.
