There were three big projects for the class, all of which were very time consuming and required many hours per week to be completed. There were also readings or homework that had to be completed prior to class. Overall not too difficult, just a lot of time.",

You choose a research topic YOU care about, then research it, write about it, and create an article on it over the course of the enitre semester. She's a good professor.",
