You must read the chapters and focus on the "concepts" aka "Key Terms" at the end of each chapter which are probably most of the test. Attendance was only mandatory the first few classes and for the exams, but would be helpful if you want to do well in the class. Optional research paper is recommended for an A.

She's definitely got a zest for life! Class is structured pretty well, but the lecture is sometimes a bit wonky. She gets the main point across just in an unconventional way.
