Fall 2022 - For a computer science class, this class doesn't do a lot of coding. The lectures are all math/concept-based, with the first half of the course primarily involving matrices, and the second half involving algebra and just knowing the concepts. Lectures are fairly engaging and he uses slides but they don't cover everything and he usually writes most things on whiteboard. Discussion sessions are where all of the coding happens... except the TAs aren't really the best at explaining the code, since it's from an obscure JavaScript library made solely for this course, therefore there's not much outside help. I didn't know JavaScript before this class, and there was only a small effort to teach the basics, so I had to self-learn quite a bit. Like I mentioned, TAs don't explain the code that well and usually just show screenshots of code from slides and a few demos. There's also a group project which involves 3 people and you can make anything as long as it has an advanced graphical feature. As for the tests, the midterm was fair, but the final was really hard and ended up tanking my grade to a B+. Major time crunch too. But overall the workload is doable, with only 3 graded assignments, two exams, and a group project. I'd recommend this course if you know javascript and matrices pretty well and need a course with an easy workload.
