I took this online. Pretty easy course overall. Online quizzes every few weeks, and you only have to post in the discussion board three times for the whole semester. He has "applied activities" that I never paid too much attention to. The only thing to pay attention to is that the exams are semi-hard. I didn't study for them and I still got a "B" on each one, however if you're really shooting for that "A" on the exams, study the modules and quizzes carefully. If you pay attention to due dates, you shouldn't have an issue with this course. Anyone can get an easy "A" or high "B" -- not just Curry students.

This class was very straightforward and manageable. The content was great, and the professor was very knowledgeable about it. Taking this class online was amazing, because I could do the work on my own time, and I don't think it detracted from my learning. The structure of the class is weekly sessions about one topic that consist of (usually) reading a chapter from the textbook, watching the 2-3 lectures from the professor, and completing an "applied activity" (not graded) that the professor also goes over in a video. As long as you do what you're supposed to, you will do very well in the class. I set aside a few hours each week to go through the session, and that was all I needed to complete it in one sitting. Some of the quiz and exam questions are worded weirdly, but not so much that it impacts your grade too much. Highly recommend!
