You just won't get an A. Also, you get 3 tries per question (unlike the other ASU courses where you only get 1 attempt per question). But the math definitely isn't easy and it can be a bit discouraging even though it claims you only need college algebra to take the course.
For sociology, I found the syllabus here: https://courses.ea.asu.edu/assets/course...llabus.pdf The syllabus should still be the same; the courses don't change much (if at all) for several years. Yellowdig is a discussion board. For Health & Wellness, the requirement was an (ungraded) 250? word post each week + three 60? word replies to other people's posts every week. It's similar to, but not the same as, posting to the forum here.
Thanks, Rachel. Definitely leaning towards Sociology, even though the midterm & final are 50% of the score. The discussion board posts should be no problem. I see that "Content Mastery" is 20%. That's on the HST102 course as well, which she has just started. Do you have any guidance on that?
Sociology has been the easiest class that I've taken so far at ASU. The communications class was way tougher specially the final. The sociology class helped because some concepts from Sociology came up.
The sociology book that ASU uses is available for free if she wants to get started but we didn't read much of it.
