Winter 2021 - You can always trust professor Lin! He is one of the best professor I've ever met, with relatively quite light workload, very easy exams, proper way of grading, and very helpful lecture and slides. This is basically a tip for those who wish to take Alex Lin's class~ - EXAM: Two midterms and one final are all multiple choice, which are very very easy. In fact, you don't even have to go to the lecture. Studying for one day or two before the exam can make sure you get 90+. Midterms have about 40 questions each and Final has 80, all are very fundemantal question testing your knowledge about very very basic ideas of C++ programming. - GRADING: This is the best part. 8 Homework and 3 Exams weigh the same, contribute 12.5% each. Professor Lin will take the TOP 8 out of your 11 assignments. So you can even possibly skip the final, just like I did, or if you are very busy during a specific midterm week, you can skip that midterm without affecting your grade! Basically if you study for the material for a couple of hours every week, you can get 100 in every HW which means your final grade can even be 100, without taking any exams! - HOMEWORK: All 8 HWs are very easy to finish. If you spend a couple of hours every week, you can easily finish the HW within a short period of time and get 100 on that. For difficult HWs (1-2 out of all 8), Professor Lin will give hints which make the assignment much much easier. Generally, getting 100 on evey HW assignment is HIGHLY POSSIBLE for EVERYONE! - LECTURE: Professor Lin delivered the lecture very effectively and effciently, and you can definitely learn about C++ programming in his class. If you don't want to or cannot go to his class, his lecture slides can help you out as well! - DISCUSSION: No need to go. My TA is not that professional and cannot speak clearly, so I only went to the discussion for once. Not counted in final grade. - Overall, if you want an EASY A in this class, take professor Lin. Then you can spend the least time to get the best grade.
