Thanks for the info. If I can pair 702 up easily, then I can finish one semester earlier.

Sorry for the late reply, but the test was very easy. Second one was marginally harder than the first, but I actually did better on the second one (because I accidentally missed the last two readings assignments on the first test)

I think you might be confusing ISDS 705 with ISDS 710. 705 is a joke, the teacher is on autopilot and the course material has nothing to do with Data Analytics, it's more of a 100 level Information Systems class. It's extremely easy with just a little bit of studying, some prep work and a smart "cheat sheet". Big tip - Use 8 point font, no line spacing, and narrow margins. I read the material on a secondary screen (dual monitor, tablet, or phone) and type notes onto a word doc. I recommend typing the notes rather than copy and paste as it should reinforce the material. Focus on definitions of things, the test is just regurgitation. Once you've typed everything, use minimum margins and a small 8 point font (ie Calibri is better than Times), then get rid of any line spacing, etc. Lastly if you can't fit everything, then start deleting extraneous words and get rid of "white space"

710 is said to be a killer, but apparently the biggest complaints seem to have been the teacher, poor organization, and test questions that don't seem to match the material... not the actual material itself.

I'm spending a lot of time making double and triple sure that I'm getting the video quizzes and self assessments completely correct. Watch and re-watch the parts of the video and you should be able to get it eventually. It's a lot more theory than end of module, so youtube and google also help (sometimes a plainly written definition is all you need). Some have only taken me about 30 minutes, but many have been 3-4 hours. I think you can definitely get an A on every video quiz and self assessment if you put in the time, which has been key for me to keep my grade up. The end of module assessments are MUCH harder and I typically spend half a day or more on it and I still haven't been able to Ace them. The practice questions often help me when I'm stuck because you can work backwards from the answer.
