Wow, I disagree about "halfway passed out" for most classes. Especially if you're doing grad level credit.
Seems like you can see the syllabus here without being logged in: https://canvas.harvard.edu/courses/4336/...s/syllabus
It's a good thing that they added 5% to the thesis statement. Most likely it's much easier to get 100% of that 5% than to get it on the essay. If so, the essay is essentially worth only 3.5-4.5% more, if that makes sense.
35% is still a lot for discussions.
Less weight on the quizzes seems good for many students.
