I only had to go over select readings in order to complete the assignments, and I learned a lot more from the TA. The professor is knowledgeable, but I felt the class was not for me.",

No exams, only papers, but there were a lot of mini writing assignments in class that help you get a feel for what her grading criteria is. She will cold call you if she sees you distracted in lecture, so at least pretend to pay attention.",
