While yes there is a lot of reading, it's an upper-division class so you should expect that by now. Swain was one of my best professors last quarter and I feel like I learned a lot. Pretty standard in terms of grading: Midterm, final, and a 10 page paper. Really fair grader... Take Swain!

So much reading. 4 books and journal articles. TA Geoff grades hard, very nit-picky.
