He starts off by saying how easy his class is but he doesn't make his own PowerPoints, quizzes, or tests. If you ask him questions about the quizzes or tests he admits he doesn't know the answer and that he doesn't know what's going to be on them. Memorize the online quizzes and textbook. Halfway through lectures he googles stuff he does not know.

Easiest class I've taken thus far! I recommend doing the Smartbook questions before the quiz and not waiting until the last minute, it helps with the quizzes. The exams are easier than the quizzes in my opinion. Stay on top of the deadlines and this class will be a piece of cake. Find the pdf of the textbook to use during open note quizzes/ exams!

Dr. Hanik's online Med Term class was the easiest class I've ever taken. 2 units; 7 chapters per unit: quiz per chapter each week; 8 mins, 10 questions. One assignment per chapter that were due for the unit before the exam (they take some time so do them early). 2 exams; 35 mins, 50 questions. No final. Quizzes and exams were open-note. EASY A!!

Please don't take this class, you have to use McGraw Hill which is terrible at grading answers that are fill in the blank. You only get 8 minutes on a 10 question quiz, and 35 minutes on a 50 question exam. Quiz answers are very sensitive so it is easy to get a question wrong when the right answer was used.
