depends on subject and your skill set.
I've taken some history courses, and all you have to do is write research papers. If you're good at writing papers, then you pretty much get an A.
and sunshine is correct, no discussion board questions if you do CD-Rom courses. Instead they want you to do these non-graded assignments for attendance records or something, but since they weren't graded, I just wrote the papers for the graded stuff and turned it in early to avoid doing the non-graded stuff.
