Pretty easy class, almost exclusively seniors and a few juniors. Prof Shapiro seems to be really experienced with prior financial crimes and legal issues. Barely had any "due" work outside of class except for the major assignments.

The course was incredibly valuable. There were no exams or quizzes and just papers and presentations, which made the learning experience much more engaging. Prof Shapiro was so kind and supportive, never overly strict, and created a comfortable environment for everyone.

Professor Shapiro is wonderful, and the class style is mostly lecture-based with some group work here and there. I think to get the most out of the class, talk to prof about the course and actively contribute to class. Great class, highly recommend!
