Comment:

Easy, but lots of busy work. I didn't understand the point of the class by the end of it. 3 exams, drops the lowest score. Weekly 100 word discussion post and two 100 word responses to each, not hard. The semester project wasn't too bad either. I did it in three weeks intensively. Easy grader. Still, just felt like a pointless busy-work class.

Overall a super easy elective class. The class has so much busy work that it is a little bit ridiculous. It is extremely easy work, but very time consuming. If you take this class, be prepared to spend multiple hours completing one assignment. There are 8 chapters worth of work, 5 discussion posts, and 2 tests. Easy A if you have the time to spend.

Easy A if you do the reading and lectures. Very few homework assignments in this class which are extremely easy. Attendance is not mandatory just do the work and readings and you will be fine in this class. Lectures are typically pretty boring but all material is online.

Easy A, if you pay attention to deadlines. He puts up weekly reminders of when things are due, so it is easy. Every test has a detailed study guide. True/false questions almost exclusively, pretty easy!

Took this class in Summer 1 so there were assignments due every day. Expect to spend about 2-4 hours on each text assignment because they can be lengthy, but it is all really easy. Two exams, 50 questions truefalse all based on the learning modules on webcampus. Take this class for an easy elective, but be prepared to spend a lot of time on it.

Comment:

This class consists of geography map assignments, news update assignments and 4 exams. The material may seem easy but his questions can be very specific so you should read the book to get a good grade. Lectures can be informative, but you will get more info out of the textbook. Class only met once a week and the professor is very kind and helpful.

He was a pretty good professor. material was nothing too crazy, just a lot of material covered. He's pretty lenient with the grading so that's good. Definitely take advantage of the 10 point assignments due every week.

Comment:

Never gotten a B before this class. For some reason the tests were extremely difficult for me. Lots of stuff covered in the exams that weren't big parts of the chapter. It was nice that it was a hybrid and we only met once a week. This class would probably be better all online.

Yet another great hotel/TCA professor. DrC is great with his expectations for course work and is very good with giving you a fair grade. Very easy summer course as long as you do the assignments, and study hard for the exams. Would definitely recommend.

You know he's paying attention to you. He gives feedback that helps you! I absolutely admire that about him since online classes are usually bland but he is the exception! I would take him again.. if he taught any other classes ^_^

Class only met once a week. Online tests consisted of 50 True/False questions. Attendance not required. Dr. C was extremely helpful and an excellent professor. Not a very hard class; if you want to get an A, just review the learning modules and scan the book if you want.

The class is overall pretty easy, 5 tests and a paper. Interesting lecture classes. Tests are somewhat difficult because 50 questions true and false but overall if you do your work you should pass easily. Professor cares about students and will be lenient if you go in and talk to him.

Super easy online class, although time consuming. The $50 textbook is an eBook written subjectively, which is annoying. Professor Christianson grades quickly and listens to students. The discussions about news articles are probably the best part!

Take him as an on-line class. 12 Assignments + 3 Exams (but, he won't count the lowest score of the exams). you should participate classmate's discussions. That will be affect to your total grade! but, overall he is good!

Online class very easy! If you take a weekend and do all the work book assignments you will be set for the semester. Only 2 exams and if you do poorly on one he has a third test to help you raise your grade. Very easy class and interesting.

Take this guy online. I swear his classes are the easiest in the world to complete- an easy A! Watch out though for his summer classes, they require alot of work- but its easy work, just time consuming. I never read/watched any of his lecture's and still passed this class with little effort. Belive me, this guy will help your GPA alot!
