  • This course was a little annoying. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't stand the prof and his teaching style. It's great that you get to work in teams, but the delivery of the content is horrible, which is pretty ironic considering it is a training class.

  • quite an easy course. no tests or exams, just 4 take home assignments where the answers are just in the textbook. content wise, it's pretty straightforward and logical. the occasional difficult or trick question on the assignments. the most annoying thing was that there was 3 participation assignments that were a random 3 times over the semester, so you would never know when they were coming. otherwise, a good course to take.
