Very easy class. All of the dynamic study modules/tests are on quizlet. The discussions require you to read a website, write a paragraph or two, and respond to 5 classmates. He always responds to emails and makes life easy.

Comment:

Professor Tvelia is a tough grader but is very fair. The tests are the biggest part of your final grade and are based on the readings in the textbook. He doesn't really take part in discussions unless you get off track or make a good point. He is very clear in his grading criteria.

Take Professor Tvelia's online class if you are looking for Macro credit. It consists of 1 quiz on Launchpad per week and 10 chapter discussion posts + 10 website discussion posts per week. You have 2hrs to complete the quizzes. If you put in average effort and follow the grading policy you will be on your way to an easy A. Also he rewards effort.

Great class but I think the professor should limit the discussions to a few posts and a couple of peer responses. Too much chatter about the same thing over and over.

Great Professor. Took the online course. Alot of discussion time is expected. Tests are multiple choice and all answers can be found in the textbook. He is very organized and all expectations are explained fully. All grades are posted so there is no guessing on how you are doing.

Comment:

Took course online. It wasn't too difficult if you read and devoted your time to it. You do have to post to discussions frequently but quizzes were multiple choice and generally fair and simple. My major prob. with this course was the textbook used...it could be more simplified and clear

Took this class online. It was a lot of reading and you are expected to contribute a lot to the online discussions. He actually thinks you should check them multiple times a day! Tests were very easy though. Boring and time-consuming but not all too difficult.

I took this class over the summer online. It was a lot of work in a short period of time. If you take online classes because you have a very busy life, I'd recommend you take another professor.

Comment:

Not easy to get an A in his class - he sets very high standards. Must attend each class to pass tests which are based on his tons of notes. Excellent professor - knows his stuff. Liked the fact that we were able to choose any economic topic ourselves for our paper.

Comment:

Horribly boring teacher. Doesn't even attempt to make the class in any way interesting. His review before a test consists of overwhelming you with 40 or so possible test questions while not reviewing any of them. Such a nightmare.
