Has anyone ever taken this? I know the outline says four essays and participation but wanted to know how easy or hard it is?

    4 essays wow
  • crimematic
    I know someone who took this version of 135 and said the essays were fairly long as well so its probably not as easy as an in-class version (depending on the prof)

    IT SUCKS DONT TAKE IT. There are 6 essays, and so far half the class is failing.
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    ^how long are the ssays?
  • iStudent
    1250 words
    1500 words
    2000 words
    ^ 2 of each
    Also, the weird thing is that for some essays are due on the same day. For example there are assignments with 2 essays, one 1500 word paper and one 2000 word paper. Due on the same day

    Great... I still need to take 135 and my only options next semester are dist ed or with Wilson but lectures are at 5:30pm which is hard with work. And i cant tell when/with who it will be offered next Spring because CRIM takes forever to post future schedules

    SHIT.

    Wow, well good luck. Also, there's an insane amount of readings. The writing isn't even bad, but it's directly based off the readings. So YOU HAVE TO READ! I highly recommend not taking this course through distance ed. Holy crap, I thought it would be easy... At least there's no exams...
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    exams> papers by farrrrr.
  • iStudent
    Depends on the course, for crim 135, there's sooooo much info. If we were expected to memorize all this, I'd go crazy.
  • crimematic
    Even though there is a lot of info to memorize, I would rather take two exams for 135 worth 40% each (which I had) than have to write six essays IMO 
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    ^i agree. See with papers you need to include a lot of shit, and make sure of it. Exams, you can study everything but only get tested on like 60-80% of it. Plus multiple choice etc.

    Six essays is just brutal man.
  • iStudent
    Well, I'm pushing through haha. 2 more to go for us!
