This class is the first one I took online, and it was great. "Lectures" were presented as PowerPoint presentations, and professor Dimond was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. My main problem was with all the typos and misspellings and bad grammar on the presentations! I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot, though.
