Quarter: Winter 2024

Lectures are pretty dry and sleep-inducing. I would still recommend going to lecture and writing down some things he says, but in order to do well in the class, you'll have to self-study a decent amount from the textbook. There are 2 quizzes in addition to a MT and final, and only the final exam is cumulative. Self-studying is definitely needed if you want to do well on the exams. The content is moderately interesting.

If possible and there are other professors offering the class, avoid Jaime and go with them!
Marian was definitely not the worst but not great either. He basically “just got the job done”.
Lectures were often dry and delivered extremely monotonously with slides often lacking text and context to understand the figures and diagrams they had.
The grading scheme was as follows: 10% hw (weekly), 30% quizzes (week 3 and week 8), 25% midterm (week 6) and 35% final.
The quizzes were essentially like midterms with the first one being unreasonably long. The midterm repeatedly tested concepts thought just a couple of days before the exam which seemed unfair. The exams often tested things that weren’t explicitly covered in lecture, but this improved over the quarter.
The homework was very fair with solutions timely posted.
The TAs were extremely helpful and provided some but not enough practice for the exams.
Overall, the class needs more structure since it covers an extremely wide range of topics and Marian needs to improve on his delivery of lectures and his slides.
