Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A is very realistic with steady work, flexible deadlines, and extra credit, but the grading system can punish students who misunderstand it.
Online evidence leans easier and more flexible, while in-person evidence includes more complaints about grading unpredictability.
Is the course easy?
The content is approachable and clearly explained, though reading, journals, and the skill system add some structure to manage.
Online students often call the work light once understood, while in-person students report a wider range from super easy to frustrating.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews emphasize flexible deadlines and late work acceptance, but attendance rules are not clearly established across formats.
Online reviews strongly support deadline flexibility, while in-person reviews mention pacing and help more than formal attendance policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend him because he is engaging, caring, flexible, and gives useful feedback.
Both formats are mostly recommended, but in-person reviews contain a few sharper grading complaints.
