Very interesting class. You should probably attend all the lectures as the prof, Alexander Statiev, only posts weekly reviews of the material on Learn which expire weekly. There was a Midterm exam worth 25%, a research paper worth 35% and a final exam worth 40%. Most of it is writing essays and the midterm had short answers, so if you don't like writing don't take this course. The prof is a little hard to understand sometimes but he's pretty funny. Overall, I wouldn't say its easy, but if you go to the lectures you should do pretty decent.
