THIS CLASS IS NOT AN EASY A!!!!!! Many COLA's are as advertised: easily graded with lots of advising. I got a B in the class and found grading to be VERY tough. As for advising, I feel like we didn't receive near as much advising as others did. Though, I will say that those planning to apply to Curry would appreciate the insider application info, especially from Prov Van Hover (class is taught by two profs). You will end up with a discouraging B or maybe B+ if you participate a ton from day one. COLA's are generally worth it, but stay away from this one.
