  • Taught by Prof Aiping Yu. The course had an almost overwhelming amount of information, but it is manageable since you are allowed a cheat sheet for the midterm and final. And prof will post enough practice questions.
    Course breakdown was: Team Project Presentation 15%, Midterm Exam 30%, Final Exam 40%, Quizzes (2-3 quizzes) 15%.

  • Interesting course but the professor needs to cut down on the breadth of material covered. You touch on a lot of different materials but only at a surface level. I wish the course went more in-depth about the most promising materials rather than listing and describing everything.
