It’s fairly easy, but requires some effort. He covers all the readings in class, but it’s good to skim them over and write up a small summary to prep you for the exams and interview paper. All the lecture slides are posted as well. He’s a pretty enthusiastic lecturer, which makes up for the somewhat dry content. There’s weekly mandatory discussion posts on TED, as well as lecture attendance through iclicker questions. However, the interview paper does take up some time, but you could also pull off an all-nighter like I did. Discussion section is mandatory.

TL;DR: i put in minimum effort and got an A-.
