I found the class to be very easy. The exams are heavily based on the book readings. I was able to pass the course by skim reading some of the chapters and watching the exam study lectures a few days prior to the exams. Only bought one of the books, googled the rest of the information. Never watched the lectures. The book was more important

Very useful. Especially the resume building assignment.

Get started on the essays sooner. They're not difficult but they take time.

Although assignments are graded pretty leniently, there's a good amount of work you have to put in. The class itself isn't hard but you have to read a lot of stuff especially two books which exams are based on. I would've finished the class with an easy A but I choked and ended up with a B+ and missed the perfect 4.0 GPA this semester.

I liked reading about one book specifically as it had a lot of good life tips than you may find useful. You also make a LinkedIn and job resume which is very useful.

Pretty genuine, seems easy good. Seems to know a lot about being productive.
