There are readings to do every other day and they can be long, but I would say that you could get by with not reading some of the texts. The TA is also really nice and helpful.",

The discussion post are completion grades, and the essays are straight forward, but she isn't clear how she wants them. Also, no technology is allowed which is annoying.",
