This class isn't hard but also isn't enjoyable, there's a no technology policy and you will be there for the full 2.5 hours each week. Also, there are weekly journals and a decent amount of public speaking. Personally, I'm really not a fan of Professor Ramakrishnan's teaching style, and the way that he grades things "to his discretion" can be frustrating at times. He is also pretty strict on participation/attendance. I would not recommend this class if you don't need it for a requirement.
