For an intro class there is a lot of work. At least 2-3 assignments a week that are short but time-consuming. Focused on the effects of carbon dioxide on the ocean and global warming. 2-3 major assignments that were difficult to decipher, and some extra credit opportunities. Grading is mostly done by TAs. Not awful but not something I would repeat.

This class has a fair amount of work, but it's very easy. One lecture and quiz every week and most weeks there was a short writing assignment. The quizzes and final exam were not proctored. The two virtual field trip assignments took the longest (~1500 words each) but you're given a lot of time to do them. Don't procrastinate and you'll be fine!

This professor all honesty, sucked. She had the dates all wrong. I took a spring course and due dates were set for Fall classes. It was obvious she didn't check her work. This class was also really boring. Lecture every week, lecture quiz, video quiz, paper on a current event (not current and picked by her), discussion, end of module (every week.)

Just. Way. Too. Much. Work. She'll say to review ONE video for a video quiz that only has 5 questions. Not too bad, heh? Yeah RIGHT! One video may have about 5 other videos within it. And you have to take notes on all those because you never know WHAT she's going to ask you on the quiz. Her questions are TRICKY. Seriously waaaaaay to much.

This professor, at least if you are taking the online class, is great. It is very test heavy, but to pass the test you only need to watch about 3o minutes of lecture videos, which are engaging, showing different graphs and imagery. During the recent hurricane, she made a large accommodation where I had turn something in way past due. Great class!

TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK! NOT WORTH THE 3 CREDITS.

I would take this professor again. There was a lot of work, but it was easy work. 2 simple quizzes and maybe 2 paragraphs a week. She would always help when I reached out to her. She is not a tough grader. It was also obvious that she loved teaching this material. It also tied in with local stuff here in Tampa, so that was cool.

Listen, the class is fully online so I can't really speak for her as a person, however, I have more homework in this 2000 level class than I do in an upper level 4000 level class. it's basically just quite a bit of busy work. not difficult per se, but I definitely didn't learn anything and it's way too much work.
