    Hard to study for. Midterms are extremely hard and unreasonable.

    This is a pretty average async class. Lectures are a bit slow, you could just read the textbook instead, and it would cover the same material. Haven't taken the final yet, but the midterm was pretty straightforward and since it was an async class, we had a 9am-4pm window to take the 1-hr midterm.

    Good class. All online. Had one weekly in person TA session where attendance was required and TA went over practice problems. Mine fell on a Monday and my TA would review the problems for the upcoming week which we hadn’t learned yet. When emailing the professor it was hard to always vet a response back, but overall the class was a good structure and if you did all the readings/watched lectures it was manageable

    This class was online asynchronous, and it was easy to follow along. I recommend watching the recorded lectures and doing the textbook practice problems to understand concepts. However, studying the quiz and practice test questions may be more beneficial to prepare for the midterm and final (the format is the same).
