Comment:

I took this class online and asynchronously and it was still pretty easy. Grade is determined off 3 tests only; so if you're not a good test taker reconsider this class. Overall, though, the tests aren't hard as long as you do the weekly chapter. Material is easy to balance with other classes and very manageable.

Comment:

I am currently taking this class. He grades you on 3 tests. The tests are easy because they're mostly all off his notes. He has this thing where if you get a better grade on the consecutive exam he'll MATCH the points and add the difference to the previous exam. He gives points back if a lot of student get a question wrong. and no final :)

This class only consists of 3 exams. If you read the book and the study guides he gives you, you will do great! He also has an incentive on your tests. Say you get 86/100 on your second test and 90/100 on your third test, he will give you 90% on both tests! That definitely bumped my grade up! Great teacher overall, really cares!

Great professor. Cheap paperback textbook which you will definitely use! Read it and review it and you should do well on tests. Tests make up the entire grade. Loved that he gave us sample test questions to guide us and those questions then appeared on the actual test. Good sense of humor!

Comment:

Very straight-forward online course. The assigned book is written by a UofM professor and is truly a good read. The class is based on 3 exams, in which there are bonus points and some truly hilarious questions. It's possible to pass w/out reading the book, but it would be stupid because it's is an easy A and a fun summer class.

Comment:

The only critical reasoning class that made sense! Pretty easy if you study b/c the tests are word from word from his notes. He sets up a nice motivation in matching your older test with current if you score higher.

entire grade is based off 3 tests. matches scores with most recent test if you improve. tests are easy if you read and look at the study material. I took the online version of this class and the easiest class all semester because like I said just read the book and take the tests.

Comment:

EASIEST CLASS IN THE WORLD. Just read the chapters in the book and you'll be fine. I was a bit worried when he said there would only be 3 tests and nothing else to support our grade, that said, he marks up your grade if you did better the next time. For example, if you got a B on the last test, but an A on the next one, your grade is an A.

I took POL111 online to fulfill general requirements. EASY A!!! Read one chapter per week, 3 tests through the semester. Bumps up your test grades if you do better on later tests. Read the chapters and take the tests and you will get an A! Totally recommend it.

Tests are fairly easy if you read. Short chapters, easy to read book. Great professor. Willing to help and has a sense of humor. One chapterweek. 3 tests. If you get 85% on the first test and 100% on the second test, he will raise your first test grade to 100%. Would take again. Easy class.

I took this class online and it was the easiest class I took all semester. You read a chapter a week and then there are 3 tests throughout the semester that comes right from the book (i suppose you could read all the chapters right before the test if you wanted). The tests were really easy and I was able to do well without putting in much effort.

Comment:

Prof. Wagner was very helpful. He has Powerpoints for every chapter/section of the book - do get the book! All of the content on tests comes right from the book. He was very nice, the tests were moderately hard, but if you read, you will breeze through. 3 tests, 50 questions each, 100 points. Take this class! Super interesting and you will succeed!

Comment:

Honestly, super easy class. 3 Tests, open book, no discussions or anything else. If you get a 80 on the first test and a 90 on the second, he raises your first test to a 90 and the same if you improve for the third test. Didn't retain a lot since there wasn't anything besides the tests, but an easy A if that's what you need.

Comment:

He is by far the best professor I have had here at SCSU. He wants you to pass with a high grade. Very easy to get ahold of. And if you ask him what you got wrong on the exam, he will give you some more points (he said, thanks for being so passionate) and he also matches scores! There are only 3 exams- all online. Take this class!

Comment:

Took it online. If you want to teach yourself pretty basic material, this class is for you. If not, the questions can be tricky and the book will literally be your teacher. Three tests, multiple choice, and you have to watch powerpoints. This guy is working on a new master's program and is clearly not that interested in these low-level classes.

I took this class online and got an A. 3 tests that you take at home after reading 4-5 chapters. Some of the questions are tricky.
