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.Rate My Professors ↗

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!Rate My Professors ↗

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.Rate My Professors ↗

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.Rate My Professors ↗

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.Rate My Professors ↗
