What was the schedule like? How many hours per day, how many days per week, how many weeks?
DP here. My kid who is a fast worker who isn’t easily distracted spent 1-2 hours a night on health this summer. The work is straightforward but there’s a lot of it. FWIW it’s clear the teacher didn’t actually read most of the assignments and just gave out As.

Right -- as the PP who posted the details above about how much work and time it was for my kid, I should say that she is diligent and disciplined in getting her work done. Not sure how much harder or more annoying it would be for a kid who tends to procrastinate.

She went into it expecting that she might need to do ~1 hour/day of homework (5-7 hours/week) for it and that was a reasonable expectation. Some weeks were less, some were more. Some of the weekly seminars ended early, so that gave extra time. There were usually 2-4 assignments and 1-4 quizzes assigned each M, T, and Th, with the seminar on W and everything due on Friday. Late assignments weren't accepted, so it required some time management and planning, especially given a couple of field trips and overnight trips to work around (but it's possible to work ahead, which my kid did on weekends before busy weeks). It was a lot of work but doable and my kid is glad to have done it; thinking about signing up for Health B this spring.
That is very helpful. Thanks

Asking about the class that runs in the fall. I believe it meets once a week for seven weeks.

Is it possible to get the bulk of the work done during the mandatory seminars?
