This is the worst teacher Ive ever had!He will give you a study guide w/15 questions and a test w/50. You will fail the tests b/c your so busy searching for the answers in the book that you run out of time!He wont give a good study guide even if you ask for help.He is unwilling to make sure you pass

This class was great for me. If you don't get a good grade you didn't read the chapter, pay attention, or maybe just didn't do the review. He required you to be an adult and do your work. That's an hr and a half. Most classes have only maybe 1hr tests. I received an A and I had another class and was taking care of a newborn.

This class is an EASY A.if you like a self-pace course this is for you. You are given a number of study guides that you will need to look through the book and find the answers to...then you take a test. Some people on here are saying that the S.G. don't have the same information that the test have, but I didn't have that problem...and when there were a few questions that weren't on th S.G. they were in the chapter...You could read through it first and have NO PROBLEM! I would definately recommend this class
