I felt like some of the material was a little difficult to understand. The downside of this class was not being able to sit in a classroom environment and speak with an instructor to ask questions and receive feedback. Although I had the option of email, I would need an answer at that time and did not have the option of waiting (since I was only able to use weekends to log on and complete classwork).
The part of the class I really liked was having the flexibility of logging on at my convenience to do homework. I am generally a night owl and being able to log on at 11 or 12 at night was great for me!! I also like the course notes given by the instructor. They were easy to follow and very informative.
