Reviews
Participation is required for discussion, but not for lecture. You can skim through the readings (for participation points), and then actually read them when you write your essays. There are two essays in this class, both are leniently graded. There also some short writing assignments, which are pretty fun (and easy).
This is a pretty good GE, and was easier when I took it since it was online.
