Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Science is based off of quizzes & exams ONLY No homework, in class assignments or extra credit points. Your grade depends solely on how well of a test taker you are. If you are not good at exams then I would suggest looking at another school The school does not give you the quizzes or exams back for you to study

Exams will fall within the same week or day specialized courses are instructed by the SAME five teachers They are NOT PROFESSORS who could really teach at an academia level do not really care about your success & if you pass or fail the class like the school "claims they do" Classes are straight lecture with slides which you have access to online.
