About my Rel 100 class and its work load

In my Religions of the World class, the teacher has assigned quite a large quantity of homework already.  Nearly one hundred pages worth of reading, two online quizzes, and just about everything is online, aside from her lectures.  Now, I don't mind the lectures, and the reading I can do right before I go to bed (If I don't wind up falling asleep that is), but the online portion is awful.

I get it, it's a big class; not everyone can sit in the front row, do the minimum, and pass with a good grade.  However, it is a 100 level class, and I don't know about you, but me and many of my fellow students in the class agree that what she expects of us, might be a little too much for us to handle.  It's not like theology is my major, you know?

Can you say, "easy way to cheat on quizzes"? (Don't worry, I'm one of those people that doesn't want to cheat myself out of learning interesting things).

From my trip to Spain (I swear to God I'm not plagiarizing!)
And it's not like the subject matter is boring, I actually really enjoy learning about different religions.  I'm not religious myself, but it is fun to learn the philosophy behind different religions and what their origins may be.  I just flat out do not agree with the course load she has given us all.

Regardless, I'm staying in the class.  I might have to drop a different class (Spanish 313, which I don't want to really.  If I can't handle it though, I would rather be less stressed by copious amounts of homework.)
