Waste of time. Don't take this class unless you really, really, care about basic biochemistry and history of fermentation, or you don't mind getting a maximum of 90% on every quiz. She converts random multiple-choice questions to text responses seemingly just to take off points on trivial crap.

AVOID this class if you just need 3 credits. This class is not designed for people who don't have understanding of basic biochemistry. Advantages: ONLINE class Disadvantages: 1.Mandates to install additional browser that might be an issue for students with older computers. 2.Takes off points on quizzes, if you provide additional correct information. Expects from you STRICTLY specific answer that resonates with hers.Very closed minded. 3. Demands information on quizzes that was not shown on the slides. 4. Makes you work in groups for THREE large assignments. 5. Requires to read textbook, however 80% of quiz questions are from lectures.

This class seemed like it would be an interesting easy A gen ed. Somehow that was not the case at all. You hardly learn in class and they expect you to watch recorded lecture videos outside of class. I wouldn’t normally mind that but these are like four hours worth of lecture videos. This class goes heavily into the fermentation process but doesn’t discuss history like how or why fermentation created civilization (which is odd since that’s the name of the class). We are expected to take weekly quizzes on lockdown browser on these four hour videos. They will tank your grade if you don’t do well and I think I’ve only gotten a perfect score once. They ask for very specific answers so you almost always need to watch the lecture videos. I have learned absolutely nothing in this class and 100% regret taking it. The projects were easy but honestly quite stupid (making business proposals and creating a law). I wouldn’t recommend this class to anyone. Dr. Peer is nice but that’s about the only good thing I can say. The recorded lecture videos were just rough.
