Poor

The quizzes and tests ask VERY specific questions, so unless you read every line in the reading, you will miss some questions. I received an A but it was not worth the amount of tie I had to put into the weekly readings. I don't recommend this for upperclassmen with intensive classes. If you want an A, just READ. Unnecessary amount of group work considering it's an online class.
