With this course finishing up tonight (though I submitted my final assignments 2 weeks early), I thought I'd post a brief follow up:
Observation 1) this school is very conservative and Christian. I didn't know that ahead of time but it was very apparent when I was doing my class.
2) each week was a different professor and subject (some weeks had 2 professors and subjects), so each week was not consistent.
3) the whole platform and user interface was an eye sore and not a great implementation.
4) I found the first weeks valuable, however they really didn't go very deep into the science/health effects of the pandemic. The later weeks seemed to mostly be sociological impacts on different segments of society. I wish they had consolidated that down to one week so they could spend more time covering subjects that would actually give me a better understanding of the virus currently plaguing society.
5) the recorded lectures were not well done. I felt like some of the professors, talked slow/rambled without a script too much and really could have gotten their information out in under 10 minutes but decided to fill up a 45 minute video anyway.
In summary, I wasn't a fan of this class or school. I can't really complain about free, though.
