This class overall is pretty easy, for my first political science class as a freshman I was able to easily cope with the workload. There's a midterm paper, final paper (no in-lecture tests) plus participation tracked via small writeups on a discussion thread for the weekly readings due before class. Her slides and lectures aren't really useful, having a good understanding of the readings is enough to get an A in the class in my opinion. I guess just show up to lectures to show up.

My TA Tomi was great, he helped a bunch with understanding where I can improve on my essays to ensure I secure an A. Recommend this class for a relatively easy A but I wouldn't say the content is interesting. I have read certain texts prior to the class, but I vaguely remember them, but regardless, you'd be easily able to cope as long as you read the texts.
