David is an incredibly sweet and caring professor. He and Dana are very on top of grading. Anyone who did not like this class and rated it "too difficult" does not work hard enough in life. The class does have some writing, but it is 100% manageable with my three other classes. I also took this class in 1/2 the amount of time.

If you do your work you'll do fine. Every week has a discussion post which can be tedious but is an easy grade booster. His lectures can be a little long but is jammed pack full of info you will need for the weekly quiz. Quiz questions can be worded funny but is overall pretty easy.

Never in my life have I had to do more work for a 2 credit class. Discussion posts were weekly and replies had to be 3 paragraphs long. The professor and TA were strict graders and barely gave any feedback. For a couple of the projects you had to “claim” a topic which meant sometimes you had to do research on something you didn't care about at all.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Lectures are all online but the most boring lectures you will ever watch. The content is extremely bland and doesn't teach you anything about nursing. Discussion posts are extremely tedious (each one might as well be an essay) and the TAs grade them way too hard. It is very manageable but don't take it as an "easy A" unless you have to.

Took N105 which was way too much work for a 2 credit class, but I enjoyed the class overall. He is really tough on perfect citations, but his him and his TAs were very receptives to emails. All lectures were online, even for f2f sections and all of his quizzes were directly from lecture or relevant readings.

This class is not beginner friendly and its canvas page is a mess. There's no accommodation, so if you think this would be an easy beginner class, don't take it. This class' lecture is also boring, so I would look for other easy A classes.
