Took online. 4 tests (75%) and discussion board (25% of grade). Discussion boards are easy. Tests are tedious but doable if you BUY THE REAL TEXTBOOK. He suggests you buy the online one but the system won't let you use it during tests so either buy a hard copy of the book or PRINT EACH CHAPTER to use during tests -- Then its EASY

Convenience of class is awesome. But prof is not very organized. We did not get a final syllabus til 2nd or 3rd week of class. The timeline on the syllabus was incorrect and the points per exam were off. If you are good at finding answers for multiple choice questions, than this class is for you.

This class is completely online. Very cool class. You have to do the reading & take detailed notes if you buy the online textbook (flashpaper won't copy/paste...yet), otherwise buy the actual textbook . To have a hope of an A, you need to participate in the online discussions as well. This class actually taught relevant info.

Fair level class, but weekly homework, which aren't too hard to do. Despite being an online class, the Professor is very accommodating, especially on the forum and direct email. Only complaint is that his teacher assistants grade your forum posts, and no matter how perfect, it seems difficult to get 100%. I had to email him and he fixed my grade.

Class is online and relatively easy. The class has six exams (lowest one dropped), and four forum posts, the rest is weekly Aplia assignments. If you're familiar with Aplia then you know that it's not the best system. If you're not familiar with Aplia, then it's a Flash(e.g. no phones or tablets will load on it) and the textbook search kinda works.

Very clear structure and due dates; really great pacing. Lowest exam score (out of 6) and homework dropped. No lectures, just reading/Aplia assignments. You have the flexibility to work ahead a few weeks. I enjoyed it. Exams really covered the reading and you can search the online textbook during them, which helps. Overall, highly recommend.

Online class is not so bad, just homework's, forum posts, and exams every three chapters. Seems like a lot of work but it's not. Only complaint is that HW assignment gives you three opportunities per problem and then it takes your average score as your final score, so you have to get 100% on the first try to get 100% on the assignment.

I enjoyed Prof. Purser's online Management course. It was well-designed and taught a variety of things concerning management and being a leader. The class is entirely online, and your grade consists of weekly assignments known as Aplia (long and annoying - but do-able), several manageable online exams, and five forum posts throughout the semester.

The homework program, Aplia, was kind of a nuisance. You get three attempts for each question, with your overall score being an average of the attempts. However, overall class was easy. Weekly homework, seven exams. Lowest of each is dropped. He even gives you the option to not take the last exam if you're satisfied with your grade.

Easy, waste of a class. It's entirely online and you really don't learn much. Stay on top of your homework (Aplia & forum assignments) and you should be alright. Aplia is somewhat difficult as the questions aren't always clear, even with proper conceptual understanding. Forums are silly as most of them don't do much at all for learning.

The only reason I am writing this is that the professor was ok overall but the extension policy is straight BS in my opinion. I literally had to pay over $100 of my own money to use the website necessary to do the homework and still was not allowed any extension. It's understandable if the homework was on ILearn where it's free to use.

Atrocious class. Received 0 emails throughout the semester and had to pay $100 for a third-party service that taught me everything. I only found out that the professor recorded lectures for each chapter well into the latter half of the semester, but I got through the semester with an A+ without watching a single one. Easy class, bad professor.

The $100 program basically teaches us not the professor. He is way too strict when it comes to extensions and isn't understanding when some emergency happens and cannot do the assignment/exam. The beginning of the course was very confusing and the teacher did not guide the students on how the course worked.

All assignments are on McGraw Hill Connect. 6 exams total and he gives you 2 attempts and takes the highest grade, NOT the average grade. Chapter quizzes and SmartBook assignments are due every 2-4 weeks. No extra credit, but the class is easy and you're guaranteed an A as long as you do all the work and read the book. Stay on top of deadlines.

Relies on McGraw Hill too much and not flexible at all with deadlines in the system we pay separately for to be in class. No considerations found for students who work and study at the same time and no considerations towards possible scenarios and emergencies.

This professor is really great for an online class. Very organized iLearn page. An accurate schedule of HWs and Exams. No extra credit work during semester, just read carefully the syllabus, it should be pretty easy to do regular assignments on time. I missed the deadline once, but professor extended deadline for one more day.

Easy class. Give enough time to take the exam and two attempts, unlimited time on homework, and 3 attempts. All you need is to read the textbook and answer the quiz. Pretty straightforward class.

has a lot of work to do, hw is done on connect and every hw assignment has about 30 concepts which is about 70 questions per hw. didnt feel like i learned much in this class felt more like mindless clicking on hw answers as no matter how many questions you get wrong youll end up with 100 on hw. can check answers for quiz.

No homework, but quizzes and tests are based on lectures that you can get 100%. The test part can be checked after you finish every single multiple choice, and it will show whether your answer is correct or not. If it's not correct, you can try all answers until you get the right one by clicking 'check' on the right upper position. It's an easy A.

WOULD NOT TAKE AGAIN! Basic online class, except for the automatic drop policy. It doesn't matter if you did three weeks worth of work if you forget to do one of the first assignments you will automatically be dropped from the class. The worst part is? This assignment is not listed in the assignments section, it is only mentioned in the syllabus.

Online class via McGraw Hill and professor is hands off. He does not teach anything, students just pay for textbook and quiz access through McGraw which is annoying. Allows 3 attempts per quiz & 2 for tests which is very considerate unlike other professors. If you finish the work by the deadlines, easy pass.

Professor Purser is a great professor he constantly gives out reminders of when class assignments and exams are due. The readings and homework assignments are easy as well. Easy A! Great class to add on if you have a busy schedule as well.

Completed all the assignments before the two week free trial was done so avoided the cost. Easy assignments to do. Quizlet will be your best friend for this. Only thing that was tedious was the Smartbook quizzes exams and homeworks were really easy to do.

This professor utilizes the McGraw Hill platform and provides immediate access to all assignments, which is incredibly helpful for managing a full-time class schedule effectively. I would highly recommend this course; it's an excellent choice for those who appreciate autonomy and thrive in an asynchronous learning environment.

Good for online class. He manages the suggest schedule for students to complete the assignments. Sending email remain every week. Just complete your hw and you can pass. Very chill class if you know to manage your time and turn in all the assignments on time.

A true asynchronous class where you can manage your own time and when you want to do the assignments. No lectures. All on McGraw Hill which gets really repetitive and boring. Easy A as long as you turn everything in. He reminds you every week to catch up if you are falling behind (for time management reasons).
