Everything you need is covered in lecture--take notes or email her if you can't go. There are readings but they're doable. Some assignments are excessive, but two are dropped.

The quizzes are set up for you to fail unless you go to lecture, and read every reading in its entirety.

However, she will quiz you on *very specific* things that were on the lecture slides and removes those specific lines from the slides. Basically, you have to attend lecture to write down maybe 3 definitions/points to get full points on quizzes. Avoid.
