I would recommend everyone to take the online version of this class. There are 15 quizzes and 6 test. You would need to buy the book because there are questions on the test & quizzes that come from the book. VERY easy class. She also gives out extra credit

This professor has been one of the most unorganized and unhelpful professors I have had at U of H. This was an online course and she is slow to respond to emails, confuses students with changing the syllabus, and does not make this should-be-easy course enjoyable. She mentions she gives "extra" points when really they are not extra. And, no curving

This is a really easy class. I probably spent 2 to 3 hours combined on this class the entire semester and still got an A. The class grade is based off 3 exams, 2 discussions, 2 short essays, and lastly a few online quizzes. All the dates are given to you on the first day of class and as long as you do everything on time you should get an A.

This class was awesome! I had delivered my baby a week prior to starting this course and the pace was perfect for me. Very straight forward, no "filler" assignments. Everything served a purpose to the course. The textbook was extremely engaging which I prefer when learning new material. I treated the exam reviews as an assignment to complete and fo

Very easy class. There is a reason why she has such high ratings. All assignments were listed on the syllabus, so you had an idea of what's to come. The extra credit helped a lot and boosted my grade.

She's super nice and passionate about what she teaches. The workload is light, and she tells you at the start what assignments you'll have and when they're due, including an extra credit quiz. You can get ahead very easily, aside from the exams, which are similar to the study guides. You would have to actively try in order to get a failing grade.

I took HLT1353 fall 2021. This class is very easy with such a great professor. Everything is done at your time. I recommend doing the reviews as they help 100% with the tests. She's very accessible and answers email fast. If you want a class for an easy A this is it. Just read, write the essays and discussions, do the review ,and take the tests!

Loved taking Professor Rafique's HLT 1353 class! Mine was completely asynchronous. She posted all the materials and assignments way in advance, so you could pretty much work at your own pace until the due dates. Graded by 3 tests, 3 writing assignments, a couple textbook quizzes, and extra credit quiz. No final. Easy, fun, and inspirational class.

The syllabus contained all the information you needed regarding the format/assignments for the course. The exams were very similar to the exam reviews (do these ahead of the exams and read). The exams were 50 questions (MC and T/F) but were easy if you prepared ahead of time. The writing assignments were moderately hard. The book was online.

Dr Rafiques class is extremely easy. 2 Discussion questions, a short essay 3 exams, one optional extra credit quiz, and quizzes based on the textbook (you take them within the textbook). You can get an A in the class without the textbook but it is pretty difficult. Overall very easy.

This was, by far, the EASIEST class I've taken at UH. It's an online class using her textbook (which you MUST buy) and about 12 chapters. There were 2 essays, 2 discussion posts, and short answer prompts after most chapters along with extra credit towards the end. There are only 3 OPEN NOTE exams, so passing the course should not be too hard.

At first, I did not like her because I got a bad grade on the first test. do the review (copy textbook), you will be fine. textbook quizzes have unlimited attempts. Two discussions and one essay, nice grader for those. she makes you buy $100 textbook, which is annoying website for the textbook is glitchy.

Really thoughtful and caring professor! The class itself was very clear and easy to understand. There were discussion boards, video quizzes, essays, and one mid-term and final. The class was graded by only a few things, and there was a chance for extra credit.
