She changed the style of the course and the HW is optional I never did it and was fine. Exams aren't weighted too heavily. She does do book clubs and project discussions which you have to talk at, so make sure you're okay talking to a class. The double blocks are doable. There are required field trips beware.

She's so cute and does get to know you. She really cares about what she teaches.

Study the slides only a couple of days in advance before exams. Exams are hybrid, so MCQ, some written responses, some t/f. Get ready to talk in class and work on projects in groups.
