POLI 210 as an elective for a science student?

I'm curious about political science and sociology, and wish to expand my knowledge. I signed up for POLI 210 this summer, because it's the one that fits my schedule and I need some elective credits for my degree.

Has anyone taken this course before? How was your experience? Was it interesting? Would it be hard (in terms of course content, course components, the chance of getting a good grade, workload, etc.) for a science student who never took any arts courses at McGill? I'm a bit worried if there‘ll be a lot of interactions and discussions in class, since I'm not quite used to this kind of class format; however, I still wish to try and push myself:) Do poli sci courses usually have class recordings? Is attendance mandatory and even part of the grade?

Thanks in advance for any input!!!
