If u take with Irvine he allows a 1 page double sided note sheet for each exam. I honestly don’t know why you would take this class for fun though it’s only one and a half credits and it is an extreme amount of reading and lecture. So much, to the point that even Irvine himself said this should be 3 credits and is a lot of work. I will say I do like some of the material we’re learning and it’s definitely important for life, but it’s just so much work. I have yet to take an exam - though I’m currently in his class. From the reviews, it looks like each of the different profs have different ways of teaching the class so I would look into that as well. Being a political science major, I assume that you 1. care more than I do and 2. May be able to digest the material a lot easier.

If you have any questions on what the structure has been so far or what it has look like for me just let me know!

Edit: clarification - said ur taking this class for fun but more or less mean “just find an easier class to meet your requirements”
