online courses at
ISU tend to be more difficult than in-class. I have experience with two classes that I took both in class and later online to try and increase a grade (one was a bio class). part of it is initiative, and the other is that there is really no clear-cut guidance and proper way of knowing what information is going to be on the tests.
considering you are looking for the easy A with minimal effort, my guess is your initiative and motivation is worth about as much as mine was. if you are taking a full course load, i would advise against any online course... but thats just me.
