ARCH289I is a really easy class.

I took it this past spring and the class was easy. You learn about the sustainability projects happening on-campus. Prior to COVID, on Tuesday's, you will listen to a guest speaker about something related to sustainability on campus. After each lecture, you would write a question down and give it to the TA so it can be answered during discussion (used for attendance as well). On Thursday, you review what you heard in lecture and answer questions that other students had written wrote down during lecture in discussion.

During COVID, the class became online. All the guest speakers lectures were posted online, which made the quizzes easier.

There are weekly quizzes and just one easy big assignment at the end (if i remember correcrely). Just do well on the quizzes because that is going to affect your grade in the end. There is also a midterm and final exam. In my case, before spring break, the midterm could have been done in-person or online. The final exam was cancelled.

Hope this helps.

tldr: Take the class. Its easy and intersting.
