HHP 340 Tests and Measurements— Complex Adaptive Syllabus (CAS)
For those of you thinking of immediately dropping this course, I suggest you visit the Swarm Learning (SL) Facebook Group and interact with former students. There are no tests in this course and you have the freedom to complete assignments as they post. If you do the work you will pass this class (likely with an “A”).
