I would recommend HDFS 363 to literally everyone. Completely online and super easy, but the information is actually so interesting and can be applied to anyone's life.

She was so kind to students, esp. in light of COVID-19. Provided extensions and dropped the lowest disc. post, response, assignment, and quiz at the end of the semester. I actually learned a lot (wasn't expecting to), and the class was an easy A for the most part. I loved her and would take another class by her in a heartbeat!

Honestly a very easy class but also quite interesting, and I learned a lot. The professor was very accommodating, helpful, and knowledgeable. She posed relevant questions for the class to consider and study in their assignments. The class did have a lot of tests, but they were all pretty easy as long as you read the textbook.

Very easy class. You do have to dedicate some time each week to watching the lecture videos and doing the discussions/assignments, but it can all easily be done within 2 hours and then you're set for the week. The weekly quizzes are easy if you did the module, so this class should be an easy A.

This is the best class ever, and I would recommend it to anyone. The only grades are 9 open book quizzes and 9 discussion posts. The material is interesting and the lectures are clear and easy to follow.
