Most Helpful Review
Winter 2023 - Honestly, she is a pretty good lecturer. It really is just the amount of people who annoyingly talk over her during lecture that take away from her lectures. Yes, she has a speech impediment, no that does not entirely affect how well you will grasp the concepts. Me, personally, realizing now how easy the class really was and how much I lacked in actually putting in effort into the class. There are office hours, problem solving sessions, and practice exams that help a lot. The TAs for this particular class do walk around and help if you need it. Don't fall behind, participation is graded through iclicker points so don't miss class. Sure you're going to feel inclined to not pay attention in class and stuff, I would suggest paying attention though, its seriously a class you can fall behind in real quick. The labs are helpful as well, you will go over concepts from class, and learn basic coding which then progressively get not as easy but definitely not hard. You're basically just learning how to code for things you are learning in class. Put in time for this class because it really is not hard, you just really need to study. Take it from me lol. Professor Shevtsov is from what ive heard nice and helpful in office hours so I'd suggest going to those, I didn't of course, but dude, I definitely should have. Also, if you're in AAP, enroll in PLF sessions, they're super helpful. Oh and homework is LONG so don't wait for the last minute lol
