He's not the greatest lecturer at UCLA, but the material is presented in an easy-to-understand manner. His slides are really good.

I thought one of the best parts of the course were the "bunnies" -- mini-quizzes worth nothing that gave concrete examples to in-class material. Condie went through the examples in full depth, and that really helped out with understanding the material.

Most students ended up not attending class. It put those who did at a significant advantage. I would recommend attending class, if only to go through the bunnies and midterm in-depth.

It's a pretty easy course. If you attend class, you shouldn't have any problem in the exams.
