Pretty easy, overall.
Course Overview:
Interesting class, fun professor. Keeps you engaged although it's an online class and the lecture are lengthy sometimes.
Course highlights:
This is a signature Virginia tech class. I particularly enjoyed watching the international movies.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
Watch the online lectures and take the quizzes a few days before the deadline, it's easy but time consuming.
Pretty easy, overall.
Course Overview:
Its honestly an easy A class if you try to find someone that is willing to split up work with you.. if not, the amount of work can be overwhelming, but you have enough points to earn an A and dont need to get a 100 on every assignment to ace the class. Do most of the opportunities that come available to you to earn points.
Course highlights:
I learned about different countries. The countries that were part of the middle east and not was probably the highlight because I didn't really know that some of those countries were not in asia.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Just do all your work. Try to make all the deadlines and you'd be set.
Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
I primarily registered for this course because it fulfilled a requirement towards my degree. As a dedicated and focused music major I didn't have an extensive interest in subjects unrelated to music, but after taking this class with John Boyer my perspective changed! The course I took was completely online however I felt completely involved thanks to his system and class procedures. My views on world politics, and other relevant and timely issues were pushed and changed constantly. Easily one of my most enjoyable classes I've taken at Virginia Tech.
Course highlights:
One highlight of the course, while unrelated to the actual academics, was the level of personality and passion John Boyer brought to his online class lectures, while also offering extremely important and valuable levels of content.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
As long as you follow the class deadlines, do the readings, and pay attention, you will be successful. Boyer has an excellent system that sets all of his students up for success. His grading is based on a point system, and he offers more than enough opportunities to rack up points.
