anyone taking Lifespan Development online?

I took it online last semester and got an A, but it wasn't necessarily easy. The bulk of the points in my class came from two papers and two exams. They were all four worth 150 points each. The tests were hard and required a lot of preparation. I got a 132/150 on the final and was told by the professor that I beat the closest score by over 30 points. It was very doable though if you practice as many practice questions that you can get ahold of. I bought a study guide and used that and used the online website a lot to study the definitions and practice tests. You can do it! Good luck!

Ours seems to be pretty decent. EXCELLENT instructor. She is making it very doable, at least it seems. We do have 2 papers and 2 exams plus some quizzes.

IndyIvy...where did you take your class out of? I'm taking the class online this fall and I'm a little apprehensive. I just finished Psych 101 and it was about the same, two papers, two proctored tests, and we had an extra credit paper. I made an A, but it wasn't extremely easy in the 8 week course. I'm enrolled in a class out of Evansville.

What edition of the book did you use? I'm going to buy a used one instead of out of the bookstore and I found copies of the 4th edition at a VERY reasonable price. Any info you could give me would be great.
