ENGL 102 U of Idaho Indept. Study

[Snickerdoodle]

A review of sorts...I completed this course in about 7 wks. I think one could probably do it in 5 or 6, but I had this thing called life going on. No tests, majority of assignments are pass/fail, and the main thing that contributes to your grade is the research essay (6-8 pages) at the end of the course. I got no feedback from the professor (Bryan Fry), as he stated upfront that he'll comment only if you're obviously struggling. So don't expect much input from him. He tends to grade a whole batch of assignments at a time, about every 2 wks on wkends, so just keep submitting your completed assignments and don't wait for grades to come back on prior work. You can submit up to 4 lessons a week (16 lessons total). The textbook is very affordable, about $5 used on Amazon, but I only used it for the assigned sources/articles that a few assignments were based on, and didn't find the rest of the information necessary or very helpful. This course is great if you're just looking to fulfill a requirement (definitely the case for me).

On the other hand I took EN 113 (ENG 101 basically) at NMJC which was a very different experience. Does anyone want to hear feedback on that, or is that a common course on here? lol I don't know.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on EN 113 at NMJC, I am awaiting my CLEP results and just in case things don't work out, I need other options.
