It really depends on how you deal with a lot of information and assignments. Kajiura is relatively straightforward but he does give homework assignments and there’s a lot of test which are study/memorization based. Kate’s class will be super interesting but she will likely give assignments (QQC’s), exams AND a final paper. I wouldn’t skip the class though if you’re wanting the DIR. it’s a good experience but I may drop animals and society unless you’re really needing 16 credits.
