I have done a few of the ASU courses and thought I would share my experience....
Intro to Communications - not difficult but takes time if doing well, with two writing assignments weekly referencing back to the weeks videos and reading material and a quiz
Western Civilization - very enjoyable! Lots of video and reading with a weekly quiz
intro. to Health and Wellness - very easy! lots of small quick assignments like posting comments, answering small interactive questions, quiz, videos and charts etc
Communications only has a final(proctored) and the other two had midterms (not proctored yet timed) and proctored finals
I took between 9 -15 hours a week on each of my communications and western civilization classes mainly due to note taking by hand.., I found that if a video was 15 minutes long I spent 45 minutes by pausing and writing notes! So if you only watch and read it's quick, but if you are like me...it can take awhile
For my health class it only took me 5 - 6 hours maximum a week to watch videos, read charts, take notes, assignments and quiz.

I'm still working on self paced English composition 1. It is a lot of work!! I am not good with technology and you have to set up a website to house all of your journals and writing assignments and I would be so much faster "old school" writing on paper! I will finish it though!!! I plan on taking Sophia Eng. Comp 2 afterwards!

I hope this info. helps someone !

I just signed up for ASU astronomy with lab which hopefully will fulfill COSC science with lab requirement. It looked challenging yet doable until I saw the lab questions!!! I'm not sure if I will be able to do that part! I'm an older learner and Algebra is gone from my brain!! Do they teach you how to do the math or you have to be able to do that on your own??

Has anyone done study.com Biology101 with the virtual lab? That is my only other option. SL lab is sent by mail and I'm in another country... not feasible

I would greatly appreciate anyone's take on which lab is easiest Biology101 from study.com or ASU astronomy lab? Or your thoughts on either if you've taken one of these? Is there a math component to Bio101L? Does ASU astronomy get easier or worse?

Thank you!!!
