This was a great course! Professor Hoeppe is a great prof who has made the course very well organized. The only difficult part was the discussion posts as they can become overwhelming and they are a bit harder to do well on and you don't know your mark until the end really. His grading schemes are VERY clear though and you should follow them exactly to do well.
