Comments
Content and lecturer are both equally interesting. A mid terms and a final examination, both which are manageable with effort. You need to listen and pay attention in class and take notes because examinations feature the notes heavily and slides are not uploaded after. Don't worry about writing if you aren't good with "literature" because not much is expected in terms of writing essays, the most you have to write for the exams is
