This professor is great. The only drawback is the amount of busy work. Tons of writing, a research paper, weekly quizzes and discussion questions, and exams that are essay. If you do all the work and turn it in on time, it's an easy A. Online is great

Sean is a good teacher who is always there to help you if you don't understand something. His quizzes are hard and it is not an easy A but it is passable. It is by far not a blow off class and if you think you can pass without doing the work you thought wrong. You need to go online for a minumium of three times a week most of the time more!!!

A great combination of an easy class and still learning material. Books are expensive and recommended, but don't buy unless you have an interest in the subject and want to read. Most info is included in handouts and online work. Most grades are online quizzes, exams are all essay questions and online! Put in a little effort and you'll do fine.

Yes, the exams are a little crazy, but once you figure out what he expects they become so much easier. He is so funny, you'll find yourself laughing in his class all the time, all while learning what the school says you should learn. :D
