I actually just completed two weeks summer online course CIV 201. This class was very challenging. lots of reading, assignment every day... but it was a great experience and I really enjoyed learning the material. Dr. Gao is very nice.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Her grading is impossible - you will submit your best work and will get a low B at the very best. I have not seen a student make above a 92 on any assignment this semester, and that is the ONLY A Ive seen on any assignment.

If you want an A do not take Gao. She makes it impossible to get an A because even though you do more than asked on assignments she will never give you full credit on any assignment. Even though attendance is not mandatory she gives an assignment every class period so if you dont go youre grade will suffer.

I loved the use of artwork in the powerpoints and videos and appreciated the lightening of the workload as the semester progressed.
