 Letter to Fall 2020 Student

This is a very good class if you follow all of the instructions to a t. Do

not postpone or put off the homework/quizzes until the last moment

because you will not be able to finish it all and those are the best way

to make points. For each quiz plan to spend around an hour on each

one as the answers are very touchy and you need to get a feel for how

the system wants you to answer. For the video notes play on 1.25 or

1.5 if you are able to write fast, it will cut at least 5 minutes from the

play time and if you have any questions be sure to ask. Really good

class and I enjoyed it.The most successful way to stay ahead of the

game and on top of your studies is to follow the calendar and what you

should be doing for each day. It has been split up for ideal

learning/studying time so complete each task on time and it will help

you not only keep your homework/quizzes accountable to turn in on

time but will also allow you to absorb the right amount of information.

Overall it was a very good class. I liked submitting via PDF and thought that was
a really good way to get the notes across. My only complaint is the online quizzes
as their answers are very touchy but other than that it was a good semester, all
things considered. Thank you.
