I took this course to fulfill a distribution requirement and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There is a fair amount of reading however it is more stories than historical papers, which I found much more appealing as they weren't as dense. There is a fair amount of group discussions but if you've done the reading (even skimmed) you will be totally fine. There's a couple exams and papers, but nothing extremely hard if you're up to date in the class work.

Be prepared for the reading quizzes as they will get you if you do not do the reading carefully. But that is really all she wants from you is to do the readings and be prepared for the quizzes because they will help you with the exams and the papers.

Otilia Milutin is really sweet. She can really take any point that you bring it into discussion and treat it as gold. Her class structure is extremely easy. You have to fill out two discussion posts a week based on the assigned readings, which shouldn't take more than 30 minutes for each, and then come to class expecting to discuss with people around you based on those readings. There is also a presentation component in the class, where a new person will present on an assigned article related to the class lecture. You only have to present once during the whole semester, and you have the option to do it earlier in the semester if you have other more time consuming classes. She has a few paper assignments but they're all either 1000 words or less. Overall a really easy class with a great professor.
