Fall 2019 - If you're taking this class because you never took calc/want a refresher, you probably don't need to. There is little to no math involved in this class, which makes it pretty easy. Jane is a very slow lecturer, and it was difficult for me to pay attention during class, but the class is BruinCasted, which is a huge plus. Overall, I think this class was a waste of time, and I wish I would've just started with 30A. However, I enjoyed the coding we learned in lab (except it was a little hard at first), but the TAs are very nice and helpful.

Spring 2022 - this class is HORRIBLE with Jane Shevstov. Jane is the WORST teacher ever. She is impossible to understand and should not be allowed to teach ever again. It is absolutely impossible to pay attention in her lectures so you learn absolutely nothing. The grading is extremely unforgiving and the grading scheme for this course makes it really hard to receive a good grade. midterm and final is 75% of your grade and the other 25% is homework that is not graded on completion!! DO NOT take this class! Also, Jane is one of the writers of the textbook and it is horribly written and hard to understand which does not help at all. The only thing helping me in this class is notes that are re-scribed by the TAs. Also the homework is really tedious and repetitive and takes foreverrrr. PLEASE do not take this class with Jane (I have heard good things about other professors but DO NOT TAKE IT W JANE).
