Deadlines are time driven and arbitrary, but expectations are very clearly outlined in the syllabus and grading rubrics. Do not take this class if you work or have other classes. She pretty much grades in black and white and lets the computer do the calculating work. An 89.9 is graded as an 89, not a 90. You've been warned.

Very well organized course. Everything you need is right there. Didnt have to buy a book which was great. I took the 7 week fast course. Two assignments per week. Its condensed but manageable. I really used Prof's tutorials on assignments and her examples. This helps A LOT. She gets back to you and gives you chances to makeup work.

She was a good professor, I learned a lot from her but she can also be pretty rude. She's not the most understanding.

Dr. Luis is the real deal. She has a lot of experience and brings this to the class. Recorded lectures are a little long but I learned a great deal. Everything is in the course and it is clear and well organized. Responds quickly to emails and will point you where you need to go to find things.

I took the winter course, which did require work every day of the session. But, Dr. Luis opened the class a week ahead & I was able to look at the work before making a decision to take the course. She responds quickly to emails and gave me an extension after I got Covid. She truly cares and if you know how to study, you will be fine in this class!

Dr. Luis was great! I took a very short session course with her and it was organized and easy to follow along. She uses a pdf textbook so I saved $. She also answers emails quickly and points me to where to get things. Overall, easy class to take in between the semester.

Very easy class. I am a visiting student and the organization of this class was a dream. Just work hard, read, and do the work. If you want to do well- she gives you what you need need.

Overall solid class. Weekly assignments and a semester long project. Not an easy class to take if youre busy. But learned a great deal and will use this information because I want to teach. Prof does respond to emails and sends lots of announcements and reminders.

I really enjoyed this class and was very hesitant, given that it was a second session course. Everything was laid out and easy to follow. We received extra points which boosted my final exam score and another assignment score. Dr. Luis responds to emails and gives extensions or feedback when asked.

Took in winter, so many discussions, 3-4/week. Required word count (500+ 1st post, 300+ 2nd post). You lose points for posting too close to the due time (e.g., due @ 11:59 & you post @ 11:55; said it was so class & she could provide feedback but I never got feedback, I didn't care, I still posted late). Quizzes openbook 5/week , 2 exams closebook,

I have taken other online classes here, which are taught by the textbook. I loved how Dr. Luis provided her own lectures as if we were in class. I did not want to take an online class but could not fit some classes into my schedule. I am so happy I am made this decision. I learned a lot and even though it was not always easy, I took away a lot.

Very organized, lays out so many resources and tutorials, however, lacks empathy. I took the online course due to my work schedule and because I posted an assignment too close to the deadline, attitude was given. Get ready to do lots of work. I didn't receive much feedback either.

Overall, excellent class! Everything is at the fingertips and open. Prof Luis sends lots of reminders and prepares students to be teachers, so there's no time for falling behind or not stepping up. There is a lot of material. That might be the only con- you have to keep up. But, it's not impossible to do well.
