Fall 2020 - This was a reasonable class, and I am confident that anyone who puts in the effort and uses their resources will do well. The homework assignments can be challenging and time consuming, but oftentimes the TAs work though similar problems in lab/discussion and go through the pseudocode. The homework was not graded harshly, so as long as the code runs, and it seems like you put effort in your report you should receive nearly full credit. The final project was extremely tedious but utilizing TAs and other students as resources helped. Overall this class was a lot of work, but the grading seemed generous.

Winter 2021 - Very standard upper div. The homework was pretty heavily weighted and was fairly difficult as well. However, pretty doable and a nice boost if you do well on it. I definitely recommend starting it early and using as many resources as you can (office hours, lectures, extra textbooks/websites) to make sure you do well on it. The midterm was pretty straightforward, open book with a time limit. The final was a lot more difficult, both because the material was more difficult and because I thought the time limit was a little harsher. Overall, though, I thought there was a pretty generous grade scaling that made up for the timing issues. Definitely work to get the right answers on the homework so you have that cushion, and run through a lot of practice problems for the tests. Other than that, lectures weren't super useful and his notes could get confusing, so I did most of my learning by working through the homework problems and doing the lecture sample problems on my own. Also definitely run through all the equations and what they're used for so that you aren't scrambling through your notes for the final. Probably would take this class again because it was relatively low stress and a lighter workload.
