1. Sharday Shaw- " The show was a very effective use of a tool to try to enlighten America and especially young black women that Aids is a killer and that they need to protect themselves because they are at risk.  This show and other shows like it will educate everyone." 2020-02
2.  Kendra Grant-  " This particular video gave knowledge about those with disabilities but I wouldn't call it a teaching tool because it does not pertain to me and my future career.  The other topics from videos like 'Education in the 21st century' and 'Brown vs. Education' were interesting and are great for teaching people or make  them aware of what is going on with education in TN." 2010-09
3.  Mario Simmons- "There is nothing wrong with using television as a form of teaching, but the time schedule is a bit hard to commit to." 2010-09
4.  Daniel Williams-  "Using media as a teaching tool is a very unique and inspiring way to teach.  I think that it is very useful in the sense that it is easy for a student to watch a 45 minute show and learn history opposed to sitting in a class for 2 hours. Plus everyone has a television. So i think that Dr. Haney you did an exceptional job for preparing shows correlating to classroom subjects and that the media is used as a great teaching tool." 2010-09
5.  Shelia Leving- " I feel the use of the media is a valuable teaching tool.  Many topics discussed may be foreign to some students and this is a way through television, that students of all ages are able to view and understand the information." 2010-09
6.  Kelli Beecher- " I believe that the videos are very helpful.  They are good teaching tools because after a discussion in class, you can go back and watch a more in depth discussion on the topic.  The discussion on television also might spark the interest of individuals and they can go look up some more information on the topic. 2010-09
7. Nkechi Azubike- "This media really helped me personally because some of the issues discussed helped me write for my other classes. Ex. Like the cotton gin." 2010-09
8.  Montinike Moore- " This teaching tool was successful.  I understand that point of view of the pastor and saw what he was trying to do when he got out of jail." 2010-09
9.  Janae Henry- "I do believe that the media's is a good teaching tool.  You obtain more information, well I do.  I also believe I might have been able to obtain more of it if it wasn't so boring." 2010-09
10. Jonathan L. Edwards- "I really appreciate the media as a teaching tool, because it's different from many other teaching methods, and it also holds your attention and keeps yours focus on different things in history and not just what's in the textbook." 2020-02
11.  Jovanni Price-  "I feel that this media as a teaching tool is a very important because it not only allows African Americans in general but more specifically the youth to know and to understand and appreciate the significance of all that occurred throughout history.  This tool is very helpful in that is more understandable because it comes from a personal aspect." 2020-02
12.  Ashley Turntine- "The evaluation of this media as a teaching tool is a good one, because there is more to American History than what is written in the History textbook." 2020-02
13. Andrea Campbell- "This is a good tool of education because it gives the student the opportunity to learn out of the classroom and do what they normally do, watch TV.  For me, It made learning easier and I actually learned what the Salvation Army does. 2020-02
14.  Maurice Blackmon- "The television shows as a whole are a good method of teaching. It gives the students an opportunity to obtain knowledge outside the classroom.  The only flaw in this method of teaching has it comes on entirely too early in the morning." 2020-02
15.  Dewayne Waller- " I think it is very helpful because it is important for students to have this knowledge about their health.   A good and healthy lifestyle helps students to remember and focus on classroom exams." 2010-15
16.  Joel Beard- " As a teaching tool, these shows are somewhat effective, while the information is vital to learning history and relating it to today, opinions of the guests, and the host can sometimes overshadow facts." 2020-02
17. Michael Carter- "I think this method of teaching is a helpful way to gain information.  If you record the shows, it gives you the opportunity to relook at all the info given." 2020-02
18.  Juannisha Gillespie-"  The use of this media as a teaching tool is mediocre.  I believe that it would be better if there was some way to be able to watch the shows at a later time. The shows come on really early in to morning and it is hard for some people to get up that early.  Many people work and it is damn near impossible for them to wake up that early.  But other than the time of  shows, everything is good.  The shows provide additional information on historic issues.  They also provide useful information that Dr. Haney uses in class." 2010-15
19. Conswala Fleming- "In Evaluating this media as a teaching tool, I think this a great teaching tool for students." 2020-02
20.  Danyel Johnson- "I believe this method of watching shows to learn more about the subject we're covering in class is an excellent method.  This video method allows a person to learn more information outside of class, and the shows can be watched on your own time if recorded.  The only problem with the method of teaching is the time the shows are being shown. 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M. are too early but as I said before you are able to record them if you get up." 2020-02
21.  Donta Robinson- "Using the media as a teaching tool can be very good since its on T.V. and more people can see it but it also can be bad for the people who don't watch T.V. that much or have jobs that cause them to miss the shows." 2020-02
22.  Lytisha Greer- "My evaluation of this show would be an 8 out of 10 because it kept my interest.  I like the idea of watching these shows rather than doing the weekly term papers."
23.  Lita Walker- "I think this tool is very helpful because it gives us the opportunity to be able to learn about important information.  And it's not something that you just get out of a text.  So yes I think it is very helpful." 2010-15
24.  Amber Williams- "I believe that this media should not be used as a teaching tool in class, but as a source of information to the public to let them know what they can do for the homeless.  I think that it should be showed on T.V. and used as helpful information to the public." 2010-15
25.  Shatika Duncan- "Using this show topic HBCU's as an example. this media can be a wonderful teaching tool.  Through the media, students are more attentive and it is a much easier attainable source without leaving their homes.  By turning on the TV, students can learn about American History.  I think that is a great idea." 2010-15
26.  Johna Meadows- "I think that this was an effective teaching tool- more so than writing papers about subjects that might note be of interest to us.  I liked being able to choose my own topic rather than being assigned a topic." 2020-02
27.  Tom Anderson- " I think this form of media has been informative and educating.  I enjoyed he ones I found most interesting was the shows about African American History, Reparations, and Black Colleges."2010-15
28.  Jasema Wordlaw- "I think that you should continue to use the shows as part of your core of the class, but you should think about moving the show times up till about 8 O'clock.  Then it will help the student to get up and focus on the show topics and to be in a great length with discussion the topic that were talked about on the show.  You should also talk about what happens on the show in class.  The line up of the show should go along with the curriculum of the class so that everything can follow along with each other." 2010-15
29.  Kanitha Pope- "Using TV shows as a teaching tool is a very wise teaching method.  It gives students the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom.  It also gives you a person encounter of our history, and a personal experience with those who took part in our history.  I think this show is a good way to maintain and gain information about American History.  These types of shows should be done in more subject areas and done nationwide.  Also tapes and DVD's should be showed that way students could keep them and pass them down to those younger and even older.  This is a Great way to teach your students outside of the classroom."
30. Candice Graham- "Yes, I do think the sued of this media was very successful and nd also a great teaching tool.  I feel that the media presented gave us insight on what is going on and also gave us knowledge about many things that we didn't know about." 2010-15
31.  Lakeshia Wight- "I believe that the use of media as a teaching tool is a very effective method." 2020-02
32. Kristina Hatcher-  "I feel that watching this show was very effective for me as a student because it enabled me to sit and listen to a debate on the background of my culture.  It also helped to become more aware of my African American heritage." 2020-02

35.  Joshua James- "Using these TV shows is definitely a very good teaching tool, they give very good information." 2010-15
36.  Marquan Martin- "This is a good teaching tool but I think it would be better if the tapes were available in the media center so that students can have better access to seeing them.  Because the fact that I am in Band and was gone on numerous weekends didn't give me of the chance to see the shows that i wanted to see." 2010-15
37.  Dominique Patton- "I don't like this part of class.  I don't feel it  was helpful because i arrange my classes around my work schedule and I found it hard having to request off to accommodate the show times.  Although they were informational it would have been better if I could find the shows on a recorded tape to watch at my conveniences. The shows were very informative about taught me a lot about unspoken issues however the time frame was not convenient and this was mandatory for me to pass this course.  I had to make arrangements."
38. Travis Hall- "The media as a teaching tool was fine.  It allowed you to see actual people and hear the discussions first hand. I like it." 2010-15
39.  Candace Gray- "The media is a good teaching tool because I'm sure just I did not know of the Salvation Army and what they did as many other were like me." 2010-15
40.  Shaniqua Chisom-  "The evaluation of this media as a teaching tool is very good." 2010-15
41.  Lavita Tuff- "This video used as a teaching tool was excellent because it bought history closer to home.  It made you want to go further into history and explore more.  This teaching tool needs to be used with every class and needs to become part of the curriculum at TSU." 2010-15
42.  Kirsten Watkins- "I feel as though media is an excellent teaching tool.  Not all students benefit from reading the book and taking notes.  For some students, it is easier to obtain information through a lecture and/or the video that we have been watching this semester.  Media/television, radio, newspaper, and magazines is an excellent and very powerful tool being used to educate the youth of today.  Just imagine how beneficial this tool would be in other classes to further education." 2010-15
43.  Kyra Green- "The show is a wonderful way of informing society of important issues.  Since everyone watches TV, it is a useful way of teaching information." 2010-15
44.  Larry Patterson- "This show was very helpful as a teaching tool because it helped students become aware of t he organizations and people around them."2010-15
45. Ladina Hudson- "I do believe that this a good teaching tool because it opens your eyes and makes you realize that there are so many people in need and the community could step up more to take case of our people.  This show needs to be in rotation more than just twice a week and it should be on at a decent time."2010-15
46.  Brittany High- "This media is definitely a very good teaching tool.  I believe that requiring students to watch these TV shows and giving feedback is a very good way of teaching them valuable information. A student can zone out if this information was given by lecture but by TV show can enable a student to listen.  I would recommend this teaching tool to continue in history classes." 2010-15
47.  Tiara Smith- "This media is a very helpful teaching device and is great because in and out classroom experience." 2010-09
48.  Jamie Runions- "Evaluation on this media as a teaching tool is amazing. I think all students in every class should watch five shows per semester.  This gives them issues in the world and tools to and for prevention and to educate them.  I know for me personally, i have learned many many concerns and had questions I was thinking in my had answered during the show.  Good job to you and the people on the show and keep up the amazing work!" 2010-15
49.  Sarah Caves- "I liked the fact of watching shows that my teacher hosted. I also got/learned a lot of information from the shows I saw.  The use of these shows and the internet for learning is a great thing.  This makes the students get involved in technology which is what our future is going to be.  I think it is a good learning tool and should continue to be used." 2010-09
50. Meghan Johnson- "This information is a neat thing to learn, but it comes at you so fast that people don't soak it up.  It is not good for test material.  The topics and main arguments remain vivid in my brain but the personal information about the interview does not." 2010-09
51.  Jessica Crafton- "This media as a teaching tool is good but I think that we should watch them in class every once in a while and we can take notes that way too." 2010-09
52.  Kelli Crutcher- "The media is a good teaching tool you just must monitor what is on the television." 2010-09
53. Meagen Simmons- "This type of media can be used as a good teaching tool because it allows students to become more aware of their community and the people and organizations around them.  Without those televised interviews, students would never know about their community and they would never have the same opportunity to learn about these people." 2010-09
54. David Bailey- "This media is a very good teaching tool.  It is a good comparison of past and present.  Through this media a student learns about the past and present.  This media not only deals with the classroom, but it deals with life.  The whole point of school is prepare  you for life so it is good that we are learning present day issues that concern us.  To me this media is a very good teaching tool." 2010-09
55.  Erwin H. Shea- "Television if used properly can be a great educational tool.  However, I do have one request and that is that the programs are on after the 9 A.M. hour." 2010-09
56.  Larry Jenkins- " The media is a very good tool when it comes to teaching and here is why.  The media is taking over and has a prominent role in today's society.  Different forms such as television, radio, and things such as magazines all may be used as good methods or tools for teaching.  Some teachers such as yourself even use these methods and incorporate them into their lessons.  Some teacher use tapes to show students what they need.  Other teachers may used an audio recording (esp in music) to assist in teaching a lesson.  The media is huge in this time." 2010-09
57.  Michael Adkins- "Television is a great media as a teaching tool.  With television,  It is a reality that the topic of discussion or teaching may be reinforced with visual representation. With television, a wider audience can be reached.  A teacher on television may reach millions consequently, a teacher in the classroom may be fortunate to reach hundreds. Because of television's popularity today, television is the best tool for teaching due to its easy accessibility and quick methods of getting a point across to people." 2010-09
58.  Ashford D. Reed- "The media tool, as a source of learning, is essential to the college education. I believe video and audio should be a part  of the semester curriculum for most classes.  This tool teaches hearing, listening and writing skills.  It improves these skills while teaching new ideas and concepts." 2010-09
