Attendance is a HUGE part of your grade, homework takes about an hour and a half each assignment.

Dr. C was okay. Barely anything in lecture was relevant to assignments, which were easy. No tests, just midterm and final projects. Attendance is mandatory for lecture and discussion. Dr. C is passionate, her lectures just aren't engaging in my opinion. It's an easy class if you need a credit, but there are better classes out there.
