We have reflections (part multi choice, part short answer) that we have the class day off to do. You can have your notes for them. Exams (3 total) are like the reflections but longer. The short answers ask more for your opinion than a definite answer. Also 2 papers, she's a fairly easy grader. Also she tracks who participated in class, you have to participate at least 5 times per semester to get those points.
