Very help thank you…
by Neil A. on November 18, 2024
learn alot!! great info !!
by Sienna H. on November 18, 2024
Very condescending to believers in God and Christ. The majority of the course was a sad example of people trying to find morality without acknowledging God- a futile effort, as stable as grasping at the wind. It was quick to go through, however, which was good!
by Usman H. on November 18, 2024
This course was well paced and had a decent amount of resources for studying. However, it would have been helpful to know when I needed to use a calculator for more advanced calculations at times.
by Megan K. on November 18, 2024
Very informative. Greatly explained, and I learned a lot.
by Fatou N. on November 18, 2024
The class was a bit challenging but it was good.
by Thakshanthan N. on November 18, 2024
Great course. I learned alot even though i have a psychology background. The writing assignments were fun and allowed me to connect certain situations to my life.
by Keith C. on November 18, 2024
Very difficult to learn when the quizzes and tests do not give any explanation for wrong answers.
