I'm working on Causes and Effects of the Vietnam War. After completing the essays, I think I'll start on the System Design and Analysis course.

Looks like it's going to be hard because I'm working on calc based physics, intro to chem, semiconductors, and calc 2 at another college.

How's the course? I wish they had more history options to choose from, I don't know a great deal about the Vietnam War or the Civil War, so would be starting from scratch almost.

I'm not a fan of history so it was kind of boring. I found that finishing the History of the Vietnam War (lower level) course helped a lot. It basically finishes most of the quizzes for you. The other quizzes can be finished quick as well; I watched one episode of a show then did three quizzes. To pass, you just have to memorize a lot of things (people - what they did/what were they known for/what did they want, battles and their significance and so on...).
