Really nice guy, lectures were kind of dull although some stuff was interesting, and the workload was manageable. The worst thing about this class was the online midterms. Some of the questions were about weird small things he mentioned for a brief second in a lecture and the way some questions were worded was strange.

No opportunity for extra credit, there are weekly quizzes with a very short time limit and a lot of multiple choice questions. You pretty much have to memorize the readings to get all the answers right. He does not offer make ups or extra credit of any kind. Very strict and inflexible.

Chatterjee was an engaging lecturer, and lecture attendance remained pretty high throughout the quarter for this reason (also because you never know if some in-class stuff would show up on the exams).

This class did not have a lot of required items - just three online assessments that are open with a window of a few days for students to take at their own convenience. The assessments (multiple choice, one was fill-in-the-blank but Chatterjee says he won't do this anymore because it causes too many CCLE issues) covered assigned reading each week and in-class discussions.

What bothered me is the sheer amount of reading each week (around a hundred pages each week). It was unrealistic and clear nobody ever did the entirety of the reading. I would just make sure to do it by the time the assessments rolled around.

Tl;dr: Low-stress interesting class I'd recommend but be prepared for a lot of sometimes boring readings, but up to you to do them in the first place.
