Ill be taking/testing out of this course.....Got an email from the instructor saying that this class requires 5 hours daily....yeaaaaaaaah . I dont have that much time to myself right now. We shall see. Im just hoping for a B. 5 weeks with no paper writing would be great.

I saw this as well but think it was in the "welcome" letter to the course posted in EPIC. The Week 1 posting from the TA stated that we should plan to spend 12 - 14 hours each week on the readings, lectures and discussion boards and cautioned that this did not include the time needed to prepare and submit the assignments, which could double that. That's kind of consistent with the 5 hours per day estimate, which seems like a helluva lotta work.

Testing out seems like a much better alternative . . .

I dont it really matters where it was stated. Im just saying that is what I read and dont like it. IM just hoping to test out of this. I would love 5 weeks to be free!

Good luck everyone. I tested out last fall and I was soooooo happy with a B!

Good luck to those attempting to test out! I read the whole book, did the online study materials, and got a B+. It was well worth taking that grade to test out.

Well I didn't make it, missed passing by one. :cry: I decided to take the semester course in the fall, so I dropped out. Now I'm just taking one class, taking two just looked like too much for me. Going to take statistics in the summer, and didn't want to take anything else with it.

Awww...I'm sorry. I know someone who didn't pass the test and took the class. She said the class was very easy and interesting. And she got an A, where a lot of us that tested out got B's. So don't stress, you'll be fine.

Yep, know someone who did the same. She rocked the course and said she actually enjoyed it. You'll be fine!

Awwww I'm so sorry. I actually kinda wanted to take the class (crazy I know), I took the test anyway and failed. I really liked the class a lot and it was not difficult!
