Fall 2020 - This is not an engineering class but a writing class which purpose is to do a free research for the institute run by prof. Random grading by rude TA Jesse who is not qualified for the job of grading papers. Professor does not like questions, gets upset with emails, does not want any communication from students. Old slides with oudated information and Wikipedia-borrowed graphics and info. Beware of this class - a lot of frustration and uncertainity with grades that are based on writing but evaluated by the unqualified graders.
