Just an update. I started this course during the five-day free trial and got all the quizzes completed and speeches recorded during the trial. When it unlocked on the 21st I submitted all three speeches and took the final that day (around 11 p.m.).
I added the course to ACE for review on the 21st as well (even though I wasn't expecting to see it approved for a while).
I got the notification from ACE this morning that everything was graded and reviewed. Sure enough, I went into my dashboard and it was updated. I took this course expecting it to take a couple of weeks for the assignments to be graded and it ended up taking one business day!
As far as ease of the course, it was pretty easy. I have to admit, I was sick this week and didn't put much effort into it at all. I wasn't really interested in the material so I was kind of rushing through it. I was also trying to get two other classes finished at the same time. I had 100% on the quizzes so I knew I only needed 55% on the speeches and 55% on the final exam. That really took the pressure off. I ended up scoring well on both the assignments and the exam despite my lack of interest/time/etc. I would say it was probably one of the easiest courses I've taken so far. So if anyone is worried about it, I would say, don't be. It's a gen ed course you just need to get through to check the box.
