This class was jam packed full of information. Some of the lectures and labs were difficult to grasp. The labs that required google search had me second guessing myself on if i was learning the correct information. I do feel this course may have been more beneficial in person than online. Although it was a good course. Thank you
this course seems quite challenging on line. the course outline did a good job of explaining things.
This is a well structured course that provides plenty of resources that will help you succeed. The content can appear overwhelming at times, but if you use proper time management and break up the assignments throughout the week it is much more feasible.
This class was a little difficult online than I thought it would be. But I’m glad I’m in the class because it taught me things that I didn’t know.
I have enjoyed this class. I appreciate the layout and organization. It has been a helpful for an online format. there is a lot of content.
This was my first Biology class since high school. It is jam packed with information and a great learning experience. I do wonder how it would be possible to complete all that is required if I was taking more classes at once. There was ALOT to do each week. It made for exams to be pretty difficult since there was so much information being learned so fast. Loved all the discussion posts, and labs. It a great class over all.
The content seems like a lot but if you follow along with the study material given while watching the videos it will go smoothly. I love the interactive web based labs but I do miss the more hands on feel. The discussion topics are intriguing. I encourage future students to really incorporate what is being presented in the weeks material and apply it to the discussion. Instructor Green gives a lot of information and resources to use and I feel I have learned so much this term.

This a class full of a lot of material. My brain is still processing everything we learned over the term. Glad I did it though. I wish the discussion deadlines were easier to remember.
I enjoyed taking this class and I have learned a lot from it. I have found the lecture videos to be quite helpful since it gave an overview of what was in the chapter readings. The course had an organized layout and it was really helpful that their was folders for each week.
This was a great class other than trying to add the pictures to the tests which I struggled with and the fact that the tests are cumulative when there is so much information to keep ahold of.
I think that this was very clearly structured making this an enjoyable learning experience. The lectures were informative and the information covered felt clear and easy to understand.
