About this rating

Raw average: 5.00/5 from 1 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
CA 272 (online) is extremely well structured. The "lectures" are mostly reading, with some videos. Mary communicates well & often, and it's easy to do well if you keep up. Textbook readings are not required to do well on exams, especially because they are open note/online. The research paper can be a drag, but I overall recommend this class.
