  • super interesting course. wouldn't recommend if you're not at least slightly religious, as there is definitely religion-heavy material, yet interesting and a bird course if you do the weekly discussion posts.

  • This class is very interesting and easy to follow. The discussion posts are very helpful for your overall grade as they are worth 35% of your grade. The unit reviews are helpful for the rest of the course and the two brief essays. If you are engaged in the class you will do fine. There is a lot of info in the second half of the course that does not come up in the unit reviews when you move into reading the novel.
