I took this course online and it consisted of 4 tests based on the lectures and 4 written assignments. The last written assignment was 30% of the grade. Overall the content of the course is amazing and enjoyable, especially if you are interested to learn the history of Islamic civilization. I can't wait to take part 2 of this course.
