Professor Cohen-Charash was very straightforward with her expectations for students. It wasn't work heavy but you won't succeed if you don't read the textbooks. Her slides were informative and she always found interesting videos. However, seeing as tests made up the majority of the grade you need to study the textbook. The slides alone don't help.
