Practically no work, just 3-4 discussion quizzes (very hard) and 3-4 exams (veryyy hard). Work at your own pace, but study well in advance. The material isn't all that difficult, but the exam questions are.

Attendance isn't mandatory at all. You should still go.

Funny, British (entertaining), incredibly smart (just look him up), don't talk in class, you get chocolate if you ask the first science question of the semester:)
