Prof Jamil barely gave any work. It was 4 modules, one per month and each module consisted of only a couple of things. She was definitely very easy. You have more than a enough time to complete your work and as long as you do it you're guaranteed an A. Only one exam which is the in person multiple choice Final. Definitely would take her again.

Professor Jamil is amazing. The class was pretty boring most of the time but she tries to make it interesting and makes the information very clear. She also gives you many opportunities to bring your grade up. The exams are pretty easy since she takes all of her questions from the study guide.

There are four 1 hour timed essays at the end of each course module that you have to complete. I recommend do everything in the course module, post in the discussion boards and you should be fine.
