Winter 2020 - If you put in the work, your grade will be reciprocated. Midterms are straightforward, and as long as you remember the slides, you'll be fine (also not cumulative). There are three quizzes in discussion throughout the quarter (which the TA makes), and I found those to be trickier than the midterms as the TA looked for small details. Overall, this is a great class. I feel as though I definitely walked out with something valuable.
