  • Interesting, fun projects, and very manageable workload. One "group project" but your grade doesn't depend on other students.

  • It tries too hard to be something relevant, workload is pretty good tho; weekly quizzes, 1 discussion based video group project, 1 final video presentation project, and weekly readings.
