Very easy. 2 multiple choice tests, and a multiple choice final. You can get by from just paying attention in class.

Go to class and take notes. The textbook is not necessary, he'll tell you in class himself that he won't test anything beyond what he mentions in class. The exams are all MC and you don't have to memorize any dates!
