Allowed me to study at my own pace

I appreciated being able to complete some of my general studies courses quickly and astride of my regular college courses. However, the user interface for both classes was cluttered and ugly. This combined with some ambiguous directions made it difficult sometimes to understand the requirements. Additionally, the worksheets and instructions for the Biology Lab class periodically did not match, leaving me with questions on how I was even supposed to proceed.

i do not like using proctor u because in college we dont even have someone watch us take the test so it doesnt make sense for us to have it online but not in person.

Courses have too much information to cover. The videos provided are not helpful whatsoever. I studied and took notes for months and they were not helpful. There should be other options to earn points for a grade, not just quizzes and exams. I also think it is ridiculous that some questions are worth so much that if you get 3 wrong you're already at a B or C. No typically class would have so little questions worth so much, especially in math where there are curves to allow people to pass.
