The class itself isn’t hard. Just make sure you keep up with the homework and read the textbook. Make sure your asking for help when you need help, he’s there for a reason. As long as you keep doing your work you’ll be fine.
For this class, I say the best advice would be transfer out and find a different teacher. To be succesfull in a class you need a teacher that also wants your success, in this one Henderson does not want your success at all. If you are unable to transfer just try to get an A+ or A on every single assignment and every test. Still, you might end up with a B
In this class you would be assigned a lot of homework which was very overwhelming at times. She was flexible with the due dates and would change them constantly which was good. You have to pay attention in this class to be able to understand the material and do the homework and tests. Her homework is based on what you learned in class or what you will learn. She is very open about late work, but I am not sure if you get full credit. If you have more than 5 missing assignments she will open 5 at a time. Which is nice because it helps make it seem overwhelming. To do well on the test you need to pay attention during class and do the assignments. The tests are usually about what we learned in class, and all of the questions are about the material. She did not have any confusing questions about material we never learned. If you need to take a test you can come during lunch, which is good for both the student and teacher. Overall this class was enjoyable because of the environment but difficult due to the workload.
Advice I would give to future students is to use the textbook as a tool. The textbook has a lot of information in it that is very useful for studying for quizzes. This class isn't too difficult and a lot of the lessons are very interesting to learn about. A lot of the units also relate to things that we have learned in previous science classes and we go more in depth into these units. We learn about things that humans are doing that could be potentially harmful to the environment and planet, and we learn about ways we can minimize this damage and we find ways that we can directly help make our environment more sustainable and healthy.
I would say there is a lot of work in this class. Since it was online for us we didn't get the hands on experience. I feel like it would have been very fun if we did hands on experience. The only advice i would give is to finish your modules on time. The late work policy here is pretty flexible and you can get full points for late work. I have learned lots of useful things that would be handy in the future.
