This was such an interesting class about Indian culture. Even though I knew a decent amount about Indian culture, I learned so much in this class.
The workload is very manageable. There are a few short readings every week, and they're pretty interesting. There were 2-3 in class quizzes which are highly based on the lectures and readings. Basically just memorizing them and asking the professor if you have any questions or clarifications would help you so much on the quizzes.
I should add, that when I took it, it double counted for CSW and second writing gen ed requirements, and the writing was a lot lesser than I thought. There were 3 short response papers and 1 final paper, and she gave good enough time to complete them.
Overall, great class and you don't have to put in a lot of work to get a form of an A.
