TAKE THIS CLASS. easiest class ever. The homework problems are the tests. You can finish whenever you want and all the answers are on quizlets. Save the Hw problems for the midterm/final as well, it's the same questions again. I finished in under a month, could have earlier but that would be sketchy

Very easy class. I was able to finish the whole course in under two months. All of the material is easy to find and the weekly homework is what makes up the exams so make sure you keep the answers. We even got extra credit for getting things done early. If you're looking for a good easy class in the mix of very difficult ones, this is the one!

If you're thinking about taking this class, DO IT! I took it online and it was the easiest class I've taken. Homework questions each week, the exam questions are straight from the homework. Answers to all questions are easily found online. Gives extra credit just for doing work on time. Professor was also super helpful about reminders, etc.

Probably the easiest class I'll ever take. It's online, all the work is multiple choice, and the tests are all the same questions from the homework, and all the answers for the questions you can find online. He sends reminders that homework is due, but you can turn in your work any day before the end of the semester with no points marked down.

Learn at your own pace. I did the whole class in the last two weeks of the semester. All of the questions are just questions he found online posted by other universities. Just keep a document with all of the questions and answers and search it during tests. Super easy

Loved this class. Easy A for me. Expectations, homework, tests, grading, etc are all very clear. He was very helpful to me when I emailed him for help. I honestly googled all the answers, but some I needed the book for, so id still buy it. I would definitely recommend him.

This class was too easy. No critical thinking involved, just taking simple multiple choice tests. I'm very interesting in the topics discussed and I didn't really feel like I learned enough. He gives extra credit just for getting your work done on time. If you're looking for some easy credits this professor is for you.

Comment:

You can google all your HW problems. It's all multiple choice based. Then whatever you got wrong the test are the exact same questions. No reason not to get an A. The homework gives you all the correct answers . I feel bad for only getting a 93. Don't buy the book.

As long as you do the homework (print out each homework assignment) and then correct the answers after turning it in you should do great on the exams. all the exams are picked from the homework.

Took this class online. Returned my book to Chegg for a refund because I could tell I wouldn't be needing it. Really straight forward with everything, can use the internet and resources to complete homework. Quick grader and sends out reminders when assignments are due. Highly recommend.

Took this online, every single answer can be googled! you have 30 questions to answer once a week, you can look everything up. i got an A+. he has due dates but he doesnt care if you turn anything in on time, he just gives you extra credit if it is turned in by the due date. super easy class, didnt even open the book once.

Easy online class. Each unit consists of reading the chapter and completing 30-40 multiple choice homework problems. Homework problems take about an hour or two to complete well. Three exams throughout the semester are not cumulative. Exams consist exclusively of homework questions, so an easy A at 93%. Self-paced so you can finish early.

I loved this class. It was straight forward and Dr. Kasenow would always send reminder emails when things were due. I finished the course in a month and a half because you could go ahead and do the online tests and quizzes. Very simple course.

Comment:

He's okay, kind of grumpy and negative. He'd be a better prof if he smiled and didn't act like the world sucked. His method of teaching is okay. He will clarify something if you don't understand, but he's not really approachable.

Comment:

Don't buy the book - he has powerpoints! Takes attendance every class. Be sure to go to classes a few days before exams to get study guide. Study the whole study guide and you'll be fine on tests, but be sure to study hard! Might go off on a rant sometimes, not too bad though. Really passionate about what he's teaching. Grade based on 3 tests.

Comment:

Dont bother with the book, he gives u a study guide and powerpoints with all the information you need. The exams are tough and require tons of information. Make sure you attend the class before the exam because he goes over the entire exam and everything you need to know. He is hard to follow and gets off on tangents, but overall decent professor.

Comment:

Completely online course; homework are the graded "exam scores." There were about 13 units total (with 5 of them having 2+ assignments each). I didn't use the book, I just googled my answers and received an A- in the course. Some questions are tricky, but Dr. Kasenow was great at responding to emails. Learned a lot of cool and interesting things.
