In my first year (2011-2012), I took this as my elective with Dr. Prowse. It was actually pretty cool, learning about our evolution as a species. Midterms weren't too rough, although don't procrastinate on the paper! I still got a good mark, but I stayed up waaay too late working on it the night before. Try to keep up with the readings or just skim and you should be fine. And going to class is always ideal.
