Eastern University

[ss20ts]

good thing is you will have a quiz, discussion, and assignments to determine your overall grade vs just quizzes with Eastern. Eastern is starting to add assignments but they are still similar to quizzes because they use an automated system to grade.

I hate discussions                
they are absolutely useless

and read the nonsense about forum posting
"for a total altogether of 20% of the final grade."  

20% of the final grade !
for forum posts ? !
for a MATH class ? !

absolute garbage requirement

assignments would be ok, as long as they don't interfere with working as fast as you can
but some schools have the nonsense of "can't submit you're next assignment until your previous assignment has been graded"

When I was at CSU Global we had weekly discussions. It was soooo annoying! We had to cite them. The class that made me leave the school had cited discussions which also had to have headings. Who talks like this in a classroom? No one! No one pauses to cite anything in a discussion. We had minimum word counts as well. Then you had to do the same thing twice more for responses. They all had to be posts by specific days and times as well.  What is there to discuss in a math class? Either you understand how to do the problem or you don't. Discussions would drive me batty in a math class.
