Eastern University

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"

My bachelor's is from APU so I totally understand. They had me totally turned off from discussions and that is why I looked for graduate schools that did not have it. But this is the deal, Eastern grade is only quizzes and those quizzes mark you wrong very often. If you don't catch the wrong answer and make the department aware of it then you will not get the point. This method led me to hours of wasted time with how the test was designed and on the edge of failing. Discussions are super annoying but also a very easy grade.
