i talked to another student, who is very intelligent and still in college, and he said that first week was a nightmare,, convoluted and non-linear. he got a 12 on the test~! i felt a lot better after that~!
on the second week's test i got a 16, which is passing. the lectures and readings were much easier... it wasn't just me~ and yes, i do take notes, and listen to things over... but i'm not taking the class to stress over passing,,, it's an interesting class,, and still open til Friday (i believe). it's called Morality in Everyday Life, at coursera.com. the professor is out of Yale (

)
i am still finding the work interesting~ and thanks for all your support~!
