  • The difficulty of this course HEAVILY depends on your teammates. It’s super team and project based, and pretty much all the assessments are group projects. You’re stuck with the same people for a long time, so choose your teammates wisely. My prof was Will Zhao. He was responsive and his lectures were decent, but he talks way too much if you ask him a question after class. I felt like I was being held hostage a few times LOL,, Overall though, it was alright, and I personally liked it.

  • Prof is a nice guy but yaps a lot. Instructions are very vague, and you need to somehow know what he's looking for to get higher than an 80%. Also you need to actually say something in class to get at least 80% participation grade for that day...

  • Genuinely sooooo boring, I truly do not know how he does it. Professor Siebel-Achenbach is a great prof and a pretty chill guy, but that does not save this class at all. I probably checked out in the first few weeks of class but still got a 90 on the midterm. He has a standard structure that he looks for in almost every deliverable so as long as you can satisfy that you'll be fine. The weekly case studies are truly just luck depending on your group and at some point he even stopped giving feedback but everything is pretty doable as long as you attend classes cause he breaks down everything beforehand.
