If you go to class every day, listen to his lectures and take notes, and read the material, then this class should be pretty easy considering that there are extra credit that can be accumulated from. You can skip the final with a grade of 90% or higher.

Great Teacher! If given the chance I'll take him again for some other classes. Although you get around 7-8 pop quizzes (which he tells you ahead sometimes), 3 midterms, and a 1 final (which you don't have to take IF you get a 90% before the final). He tries to get the class to participate and he talks about everyday life for examples.

DAVID IS AN EXCELLENT EDUCATOR, VERY HELPFUL AND QUICK TO RESPOND. I TOOK THE ONLINE VERSION OF BUS10. THE FORMAT OF THE ONLINE CLASS IS STRAIGHT FORWARD. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE GOOD GRADES YOU NEED TO ENGAGE IN THE TEXT & ALWAYS CHECK IN TO CATALYST ESP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THE TEXT IS WORTH KEEPING.

Super easy, discussion questions are simple and based on your opinion. Do the extra credit, 3 tests one final. Don't need the book but it helps on the tests. easy A and Mr. Stringer is super easy to talk to.

Interesting course and assignments, good feedback, no tests except for midterms, final, and one quiz in the first week. Gives you 2.5 days to do each exam. Fair, gives extra credit opportunities well in advance (do them!!!). Some of the assignments are from the book so you will need a copy of it. Totally recommend!
