300-level course are graduate courses at some institutions and sophomore-level courses at others. The course number doesn’t mean anything outside of the context of the specific university.

I understand that you may not want to share the university for reasons of anonymity, but can you tell us a bit about the course? Who is the course targeted at? What background does it expect? How selective is the university? (This will make a HUGE difference!) Is there a syllabus online somewhere that outlines the workload? (You could check the course catalog, the department website and the personal homepage of the professor.)

Syllabi of this or other courses taught by the same professor, or reviews of the professor’s past courses (e.g. ratemyprofessor.com) should give you a good idea of what to expect.
