The quizzes are easy and you can get an A without even reading the books. No final, plenty of extra credit opportunities, and open book quizzes. Defiantly a good class to take!",

I loved every assigned reading (all novels), but you can probably skate by without reading them. Overall, an easy A.",

The material is interesting and you do not need to read the book very thoroughly in order to get a good grade. She is a sweet professor that is willing to help at any time.",
