Dr B's class was super easy. All of the course assignments were on Blackboard from the very beginning of the semester so as long as you do your work before the Friday that it is due, you're good to go. Only major complaint is that he sometimes takes a REALLY long time to grade work (as in a stint of 7 weeks) Follow the rubric and put a little effort in and you'll be fine!

I took Mr. Battles for an online class and it was a breeze. He is so easy and is super friendly. He emails me back usually within an hour or two. Ive turned in many things late and he still accepted it for full credit. Seems like a very nice guy, if you have to take this than take him!!!!!!!

Dr. Battles made this class really informative and helped us to learn alot about adaptive and assistive technology for the disabled. He just gives lectures or has discussions every day and follows the book so you never take notes. His midterm and final are comprised of student-created questions and he tells you ahead of time which ones will be on the test. You have to do 1 CPI for the electronic portfolio by making a switch out of a toy but he guides you with it and it's very simple. He's a great professor and you will learn so much if you take him.

Dr. Battles is so much fun to be around and makes class enjoyable. His class is just lecture and discussion following with the book. You don't ever have to take notes. He only gives a midterm and final in which the students come up with the questions and he tells you which ones are on the tests so they are always an easy A. There is observation hours but he lets you share the hours with your other classes so you don't have extra work to do and there are a couple small CPI's for your Electronic Portfolio but they are easy.

This class is very easy. We only had lecture/class discussion each day following the chapters in the book. He lectures straight from the chapter so you only have to highlight. You don't even need to take extra notes. We have 2 tests and with both, he gets the students to come up with questions, then tells you exactly which ones will be on the tests so you know what to study. There are observation hours but he lets you double dip in your other EXED Block classes so it's not any extra work. It was an informative and overall fun class because Dr. B is really humorous and makes the class interesting.

There is one project where you get in groups and modify a toy to work with a switch but it's no biggie.
