  • I enjoyed this course very much. Teaches you all about the aging population and what factors affect their lives. The course was comprised of eight weekly quizzes based off the material in the textbook, one midterm, one research report and a final. Not too difficult of a course however I wouldn't consider it a bird. Just go to class, pay attention, read the textbook and you will do fine.
