I found this course to be moderately difficult. Mrs. Coakley is so nice and she tends to baby her students. All you have to do is show up for class and take half-way decent notes. Pay close attention to all abnormal conditions. All of the tests are online except the final so that is great and you can take the test when you are ready. Study for the final, it is the most difficult test you will take! Mrs. Coakley is a bit scatterbrained,but just pay attention. Also, don't be fooled by the first test, it is easy, but the rest are not quite that easy. The final check-off is easy and even if you miss something, you get to go back and redo that one part.

I found this class difficult because no matter how nice our teacher was, she was too advanced for this class. Her notes were outlines that she didn't even really follow. Some people tried to take notes but it was too much of an overkill for me so I didn't take any notes in class. I read the book while of was in class and highlighted important stuff in each chapter. I felt that I had to somewhat teach myself for this class.
The full body assessment at the end of the semester is not hard, so dont be worried about it. We could glance at an index card we made if we got stuck in the assessment. It was easy though.
All of our tests were on blackboard except for the final. Go to the review session if there is one at the end of the semester. It was more helpful than the whole semester of classes.
Dr Coakley is super sweet but her class was difficult and really didn't have to be.
