Ms. Conner was my instructor in an online section of Computer Science 160A, Introduction to Unix/Linux in Fall 2006. She seemed committed to helping students do well in her class.

CS 160A lasts eight weeks. There is a new topic each week and a related assignment. The early assignments were fairly easy. I found the later ones rather more difficult. I spent time working on the assignments several days a week. This was my first computer class, so someone with previous experience scripting or programming might find the class pretty easy. Ms. Conner offers chances to earn extra credit, so it's possible to finish with more than 100% of the points required for an A.
