Winter 2020 - You just meet once a week for an hour. A guest speaker comes in and talks about their job, and Gould gives you a week to briefly answer 1-2 simple questions about the guest lecture (e.g., what did you find interesting about the presentation, does this job appeal to you, etc) and upload to CCLE. "Final exam" is to just submit a resume. Only caveat is that attendance is mandatory (there's a sign in sheet). If you're in need of units, this is pretty much a free P/NP 1.0 unit to tack onto your schedule.
