Material is really interesting and there is only two written assignments which are pretty spread out. Robert is very accommodating and really nice.

Easy and interesting course, only watched the lectures without reading the textbook and assigned readings, still managed to get an A- on the first midterm. Fully asynch class and Professor Smith is a good teacher and very accommodating with his one time use "oops token" that grants a 2-day no questions asked on a written assignment.

Stay on top of the lectures and you should be good for the midterms. You'll probably even do better if you do read the textbook and readings.
