    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Super easy class. The tests are really simple and the homework load is very light. I studied for pretty much the entire course content the day before the final and passed easily. Never attended a lecture. Would highly recommend the 3blue1brown video series about linear algebra because I think it teaches the concepts much better than the textbook does.
