As another comment states, get on her good side. She's very appreciative of students who make an effort to participate, and it also helps to engage yourself in the class discussion she often holds. As for the workload within the class, there's bi-weekly vocabulary homework and then a vocabulary quiz that requires memorization of not only the words, but of sentence structures that you take notes on. I would prioritize the sentence structures because they can be difficult, but you get many chances to practice them on the vocabulary assignment. If you get something wrong, be sure to ask her for help if you need elaboration on a mistake. Besides that, there's also several projects throughout each semester, typically assigned after we finish an assigned book. Work on these for at least SOME time throughout the week. Don't leave the full project unfinished until the day before it's due. Trust me. If you don't like reading or writing or if you don't seek to improve on your reading and writing over the year, then this class is probably not for you.
