This class is REALLY EASY!! If you go everyday there is no reason you should get below a B+. The exams are semi tough but, there is in-class stuff all the time that will help your grade (you NEVER get any points off if you turn an in-class activity in). The only downfall is the class is only out of 200 points so its best no to slip up.
