Comment:

This class is an easy A if you space out the work and do it little by little. Half of the class is due by the middle of the semester and the other half by the end. If you really want to learn, this might not be the best class for you but if you are an independent learner and can manage your time this class is perfect.

Comment:

This is an easy online class as long as you are on top of your work and don't leave things for the last minute. The class is divided into two halves with all the work due on one date. All the work is easy and found online. Professor isn't so good at communicating. If you want an easy A take it, if you really want to learn, don't.

Took online, it was cake. class is divided in half, first 9 quizzes due all at once, last 7 due all at once. a midterm and a final. everything is on canvas, questions are straight from the reading. Easy A if you put in even the slightest bit of effort.

Comment:

To be clear, I am either going to end up with a B+ or A- in this online course. This class is easy and manageable. She divides the class in half. Her grading criteria is CLEAR. She does not provide extra credit but there is not need to do any. Most of your answers come form the lecture, and you can use quizlet. Only two exams. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Easiest A ever. Most of the work was open in advance, so falling behind is on you. I waited last minute to answer the discussions and was up until like 3 am but I still got them done and ended up with an A-.

Comment:

This is an incredibly interesting subject taught by a an uninterested professor. Her and her TA are very heavy and tough grading. If you email the professor with concerns about an assignment or your grade, she will not be on your side and be ready to receive a a non-clear and unsatisfactory answer.

Do not recommend her shes awful, what you see is what you get. Shes very hard to come in contact with. The course is straight forward you'll pass as long as you complete the work as a professor shes just terrible and does not care.

Comment:

She is super clear in what is expected and does NOT except late work. She divides the semester in two so you choose how fast you want to complete the assignments. You can wait till the last minute or do everything right away. If you do the work on time you get an A pretty self explanatory.

Comment:

I would not recommend this professor. She is not caring nor helpful to her students. If you have any issues with an assignment, she is not helpful. She's very cut throat about her instructions and expect everything to be by the book no matter what the situation. Make sure to turn in your assignments on time... she will never give a second chance

Comment:

I took it online and she has it set up so that half of the material is due by midterm week and the other half is due by finals week, aside from that there aren't any deadlines. Each half has about 8 modules each one with a section from an ebook and a quiz. The midterm and final are very easy, the answers are all on quizlet.

Comment:

Took this online and the labs were more annoying than difficult. You can finish them easily but they require pictures because some are actual lab experiments. However, answers to the questions can be found online. They are mostly just time consuming.

Overall an easy online class. All the information for the quizzes is in her notes, read those and you will pass. The discussions were super simple as well. There are two exams which are the same questions from the quizzes. If you do the work, the class is an easy A.

Wow! I've NEVER experience such a rude professor. Extremely judgmental, rude and lacks any sort of sympathy for her students. Don't take her and protest her existence.

Overall this class is extremely easy. You do everything by yourself. She doesn't teach you, you have to read notes and articles. You have to complete a certain amount of quizzes tests, and discussions by a certain date. She is a strict grader. I contacted her regarding a grade and she basically told me "my grading is always right".

Comment:

Not a difficult course by any means. The "textbook" is provided online, and it's essentially material copied and pasted from another university, which means a ton of information related to it and the assignments is available online. The quizzes are all very easy and tie back directly into the readings, e.g. verbatim definitions.

Comment:

Easiest class. A lot of quizzes that you can do all in one week if you really wanted to, some discussions, and 2 tests. All of them are easy. however, she is extremely rude and does not give even a little bit of leeway when it comes to a wrong answer or late assignments. when you email her, she responds rudely, but other than that, easy A.

Comment:

All you have to do is pass the assignments that she assigns. There are two sections, in the first section she assigns a set of discussions, quizzes and one exam. Then the second section is the same. It's pretty simple and the quizzes/exam are easy. 20 questions within 60 min. she can be kind of snippy tho so i avoided sending her emails.

Comment:

Course Material is somewhat easy but the way she wants us to complete assignments and labs unnecessarily strict and material in unorganized. She was no help. I spent more time actually figuring out what I had to do when it came to the labs, then actually completing the labs. Worst professor I have came across.
