Course: English Composition II
Course content: Online text modules (no outside materials required except a copy of Frankenstein, and you can grab a free copy online)
Final exam format: no final exam; no proctoring required
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: n/a

Familiarity with subject before course: high
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Grading consists of a handful of quizzes -- mostly short (5-10 questions), with one or two longer ones -- plus 8 papers ranging from 350-750 words minimum.  Do note that one of the assignments requires interviewing an expert, and the following assignment relies on that interview, so if you're time-crunched, plan ahead for that.  Grading was a bit hit-or-miss, although the SL team has responded to my concerns.
1-10 Difficulty level: 2
