I found this course really difficult, this was my second time around taking it and finally passing it. It is an online class, which makes it harder than most classes, and you have to have self motivation to pass it. There are no notes to take, he provides them all for you. He puts study questions at the end of each chapter notes to help you study for the test. He also post power point slides each week to go also with the notes. He, also, rotates weeks between discussion board postings and homework. On the discussion board you have to post an initial posting on a topic plus 3 comment post on others posts. And the homework is usually simple, most of the time it's common sense, sometimes you have to use the book or a website to answer them. These grades are easy 100's and sometimes 110's depending on how much you write each week on them.
The test on the other hand is much harder than the rest of the assignments. I didn't read the chapters most of the time, just studied the notes and supplement readings, and got between a 60 - 80 on every test.
The final assignment in the class is a paper over creating a tourism board. You have to use everything you learned in the class to write a paper over creating and implementing an idea to increase tourism in a town that currently doesn't have a tourism board. It sounds hard but its not, plus it counts as much as a test grade.
Between the discussion board, homework and final paper they will help to boost your overall grade in the class at least one letter grade if not more, that is if you do good on them, which is pretty easy to do. Don't let your test grades get you down too much, like I did the first time. As long as you get 60's - 70's on them and do good on everything else you'll get a B in the class.
Plus Dr.Patterson is an awesome teacher he'll help you out as much as he can, just email him or go by and see him in his office.
