There is a lot of reading to do before classes, but other than that, the homework doesn't take long. Lectures can get a little boring, but overall not too bad. The content of the course isn't too difficult to understand, but the exams can get tricky. Go to lecture and you'll be fine.

If you want a professor with a clear, no fuss way of teaching go with her! Her teaching style is crystal clear and straightforward, and her tests are meant to test, not trick you.
