Overall a pretty chill class. Discussion attendance was mandatory, but midterm and final papers were doable with just the lectures. The professor did not bruincast the lectures completely, only recorded audio but I didn't really use them. Weekly reflections were due almost every week that basically had us answer one or two questions from the reading that week, minimum word count was ~350 words. There was a 36 question quiz we did in week 5, but he gave us a study guide which made it extremely easy. Would recommend!
I really enjoyed the lectures and my TA Alicia. The papers (Midterm and Final) were a bit long (5-7 pages), but overall, the papers weren't complicated.
