Had Dr. Braun for Calc III online. Unlike many of my previous distance education professors, Dr. Braun clearly took an interest in making sure the online experience was as valuable as a traditional class. Very highly rated if you are interested in really learning the material and demonstrating mastery of same.

It wasn't the teacher's fault that I got my first B ever, it was due to the fact that I didn't try. The homework itself weighs at 50% of your grade.
