Loved it, even though the readings and note-taking is extremely exhausting from the pace that you need to maintain. Exams were essays using a mix between examples brought up in class and things you already wrote each week for tut, so no surprises. They mark quite strictly, so try to go beyond summarizing what the readings say.
Not sure about distance ed, try to take it in person because his lectures are great.
one more thing, the research paper near the end is a killer, at something like 14-15 pages for me. LOL
So start that shit really early, and dont hesitate asking the TA for any topic ideas. Even if you already have one, ask anyway because youll get a good idea how to fill up the pages and what to expand on to get dem dere points.
