I thought I had personal interest in the topic, but doing it in an 8-week format took all of the fun out of it. I used Khan Academy quite extensively to further explain concepts that weren't making sense to me in textbook format. The class was just such an overload of new material to memorize each week, and I don't do well with brute memorization. I'm not trying to discourage you, just giving a realistic assessment of my experience; it was painful for me, lol.
I would say that the instructor can play a factor. I always look for professors that are rated for giving good and timely feedback. I'm not looking for them to give me an "easy A," I'm looking for them to help me correct my mistakes or lack of knowledge, so I can incorporate their feedback and do better on future assignments.
Hmmm , this class seems very similar to Medical Terminology , this is an excruciatingly painful class too lol ( I missed a chapter and had to work my butt off all night to catch up) and I feel you on the personal interest part. I'm trying hard to get into the best teacher's class , yeah he's hard but he really knows his stuff and wants the best for his students. But what I really appreciate about him is if he sees that you are trying he'll help you.
Easy A's to me are nothing , I love working for what I want. Even if it's pure hell.
