This course is mostly group work. You have 2 group presentations on an assigned research article, as well as a group final paper and final research presentation on a chosen topic. There's no homework other than that. The exams are at home, open note. I didn't study for any of them and got in the 90s for all. There are in class assignments to measure participation. Overall, I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot about the topic, and I think the professor is very good. The lectures are a bit dense but overall very interesting.

The class is the easiest A+ you will ever get. All take home exams and some simple group presentations. The lecture is incredibly boring which has mandatory attendance. Worst part is the lecture but if you can find a way to keep your self occupied for the hour and 15 minutes you will do fine.
