For spring online, each week, there's readings/reviews on the readings, vocab quizzes, exam prep, exam, and a video quiz. Near the last part of the quarter, it becomes 2 chapters a week. There's 2 midterms and 3 actual final tests. You do everything yourself, but it's a workload.

Took for Business Law, was very happy with my experience. The course covers a great deal of content, so while it might not be the easiest A, it's enjoyable to learn so much about law and see the passion and excitement he has for the subject. Take lots of notes, but it's a fun lil ride

I took this class online. The class is a huge amount of work; a lot of work every week. The final is a 6-hour test. You read it right, 6 hours long! Clearly, you can finish it faster but it's a long final and you will most likely use 5-6 hours to finish. I found Mr. Lilly to be rigid, very mechanical, and totally uncaring. Stay away from him.

Even though there is lots of homework the structure of this class is very clear and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the course material and learned a lot. Mr. Lilly is accessible, but essentially leaves you to complete all assignments on your own by by the end of the week. If you want to learn about business I recommend this class!

Prof Byrons fully online class is very well organized. Its a lot of repetitive work but its not bad at all. For each chapter, youd watch 3-4 lecture videos (in parts), take 3-4 lecture quizzes, 1 vocab quiz, 1 court cases quiz, and 2-3 everything else quiz. His lecture videos + slides are all incredibly thorough + everything is open note!!

He is a very passionate teacher, and it was an online and an in person hybrid. There were extra credit quizzes in every in person class that helps your grade and review the material. It's very lecture heavy, a lot of quizzes every week. Consider if you have a lot of time or you know you can absorb a lot of info quickly, before taking his class.

The class turned out to be really hard: very detailed quizzes based on a book that is mostly history business. If you take it, be prepared to take several quizzes a week (some of which might be up to 70 questions). The quizzes are also very detailed regarding lectures, so watch them carefully. If you like tests and details, take the class.

Honestly a lot of work for an online class but if you WANT to learn this class is good. For people taking the class because it has good reviews, it is NOT free. You need to dedicate 30 mins a day minimum or around 3 hours a week just to keep up, not even any extra credit. That's just to get all the work in, studying and anythingelsewilltakelonger.

Great professor, but lots of homework each week. Up to 10 quizzes per week, usually totaling around 150-200 points. Extra credit is offered in class and the midterm and final are only based on the study guides. Definitely a caring professor and wants you to succeed which is why he assigns a lot of work.
