This class is pretty easy. All the chapter quizzes are on quizlet. The first part of the test will be questions pulled from the quizzes and the second part is a video test. I would say thats the the only hard part about this class. I wish I would've skipped class more. It's boring.

didn't go to class once and got an A. Every single assignment is online and straight out of the book (and quizlet) tests are two part- stuff out of textbook and 2nd part is all stuff you would only know by going to class. if you go to class you'll get an A+, but i never went once and winged it and still came out with an A. Very easy class

She is annoying, but I would take this class again. She says that you should show up to class, but I do not recommend going. There are 2 parts of the exams- one is all on quizlet and the other is videos that are watched in class, but she gives you the link to all videos.

Expect AT LEAST 5 emails a week the entire semester, 3 of them will say the same thing. The grades are weighted abnormally so the final exam doesn't really count toward your grade but if you miss a discussion grade your grade will suffer more than it should for a discussion board.

She is very clear at the beginning of the semester about how her grading works, people who complain didn't listen. The tests are on a collection of videos she has you watch each unit, but most of your grade comes from the online modules on Connect that you do on your own. This class is so easy, just take notes on the videos and you will get 100s.
