Winter 2025 - Wegemer is an extremely passionate and engaging lecturer! He encourages interaction and has a clear investment in the topic that makes even "boring" lectures feel at minimum digestible. Topics discussed often weave between some common sense understanding and technical/terminology heavy ways of investigating networks. Any math involved is very minimal and fairly intuitive. There are 6 homeworks over the course, some more intensive than others, a midterm, and a final. He provides plenty of study material for each and the TAs are extremely helpful as well ! great class especially as an often requisite course!!
