This is a wonderful, fun, and interesting course! Mr.Downer is a great professor, who is very helpful if you need it. The only assignments were reading every week with a blog post on Collab as well as 2 papers during the course of the semester. I did not mind any of the work, because all of the topics were interesting to me. The papers were also pretty cool, one was a case study and the other was a media evaluation of a movie/tv character or your choosing. There is a midterm and final, which were not all that difficult.
