Reviews
Professor Harran always offered very clear lecture notes, and would typically provide practice exams before midterms and finals. There was 6 quizzes throughout the quarter for 50 pts, then there were 2 midterm exams (100 pts each, 10 point bonus question on each exam), and then a finals during finals week (200 pts, 20 pt bonus question). Additionally the TAs for this course were amazing. Alek and Morris were the two best TAs I've ever had and they were both amazing at making the material more engaging, and also making the material easier to understand.
