Fall 2018 - The class is pretty chill and straightforward. Gary is a pretty fun lecturer imo, and the concepts arent too bad. Though he is relatively new so he still had some issues, like not posting slides and talking fast at times. We had random weekly quizzes based on readings. These werent bad if you actually did the readings or paid attention in lecture. Exams were very straightforward and TAs were generous with points. Review the notes and you will be fine most likely.
