Favorite: My favorite thing about this class was the well structured range of assignments, it seemed as though all of the assignments had great teaching materials provided as well as an easy to understand example when necessary. Additionally all of the assignments had the proper amount of spacing between them, which balanced well with the difficulty of assignments making for a class that required you to learn the material, while never pushing the stress level greatly.
Least Favorite: My least favorite thing about the class was the tests, although I read the book and took notes to accompany my online assignments going into the tests I never knew exactly what the material was going to be. While knowing which chapters the tests are concerning is one thing, a pseudo-study guide would definitely help so that the students know which particular concepts within the chapters are most important to know for the test.
One to improve upon: The only thing about this course that I would change without having to debate myself would be the due dates for the assignments, in that I would push them back to Sunday, or add another day onto the work week provided. I say this because many of those who choose to take online courses, myself included, have absolutely no time within the regular confines of the work day. With that said the requirements of spacing blog submissions by at least twelve hours was incredibly difficult, I had to do much of my work in the middle of the night for this course after I had finally gotten home - being that Sunday is the one day of my week that I dedicate entirely to school work it would've helped to have the blog post time frame to end on Sunday night, although this is all in the end personal preference.
