The problem with this class is it is better suited for math majors than computer scientists. There is definetely more math involved than programming, and that's the stuff that's not on the course description.
I mean we are computer scientists, not mathematicians. The amount of math we have to learn is staggering.
Other than that, the first two projects were fun, the third a killer. It's only because the prof and ta don't help you enough, no matter how many times you badger them. It's tough stuff, but they don't set up enough groundwork.
This class is more theory than praticality, and I would loved for the prof to show more practical stuff in lectures, which were entirely theory
His exams are really hard...and the curve won't help cause there are always a few 30+ experienced programmers who are undergrads around...
and btw, the lectures are really boring
