What do I need for class?

You need a three-ring binder with loose leaf paper and dividers.  You should always have something to write with everyday.  That's it.

How much homework is there?

Most of the work for the class will be in-class assignments, but if they are not finished during class,
you will most likely have to finish them for homework.

What are the tests and quizzes like?

Most of your tests/quizzes will be short responses (meaning complete sentences).  Some tests will have an essay with it, 
or the entire test might be only an essay. I do usually allow students to use any notes they have while taking the test/quiz.
Obviously if you do not take notes, the tests/quizzes won't be as easy as they should be.
