Took this online during the summer. Four exams and tons of hw problems. Easy to understand and hw was easy but never ending multiple choice questions graded on completion. Exams were a little tricky bc there was hardly any time to finish and no time to look over any answers all multiple choice. Overall pretty easy and good to satisfy science credit

The bad reviews on here are people who are upset that this class IS NOT AN EASY A! Professor Anderson is fantastic. He has awesome lectures where he explains things in great detail but also at a beginner level of learning. The things he taught in this class stuck with me and have changed my life. Exams are hard though. Really hard.

The lectures are pretty boring and long. The textbook reading isn't necessary for the exams. Exam questions are difficult, but some questions come from older exams which is somewhat helpful.

Overall, Professor Anderson is a great person and is very knowledgeable about the content, but this class is very difficult and hard to navigate. I took this class online, and most of the lectures have videos and do well explaining things, while others are black screens with only audio and no visual representation. This class was horrible online.

I learned a ton from this class that I will take into the rest of my life, but it is a hard class. you have to work very hard and even with a lot of effort, you might not understand it well enough to get the grades you want. Go to lectures, and make sure to study your notes and be on top of everything

I thought this would be the easy class of my semester, but that was not the case. He is a great guy and is very understanding, wants to help you out if you ask for it. However there is a lot of homework that although is very easy to do, it's also very easy to miss due dates which lowers your grades. Tests are way harder than you'd think.
