How is AEB2014?

I’ve heard it’s easy and just wanted others opinion. Also I read in the syllabus we needed special headphones with a microphone for some assignments, do you actually need them? The reason I’m asking is because a lot of the stuff posted for that class looks old. Some due dates for stuff are marked as July from when the course was available for summer B. A lot of the instructions seem old too, like they’re were originally on UFs other elearning site and it all just got switched over to canvas without it being updated. Basically I just want to know if I am going to have to spend money on a headset I’ll provably use once or if this is just some old requirement.
