    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Kaiser is so nice but I didn't really enjoy the class too much. The content/explanations were somewhat vague and to be honest it is kind of hard to teach incoming freshman ML, even if it is simplified.

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    The lectures had nothing to do with the assignments. Don't stress at all if you have no idea what's going on during lectures; they covered content which, in my opinion, was too advanced to being taught to incoming freshmen (stuff that you'll learn in upper div EE courses).

    The assignments are super easy. Just make sure to show up to lectures and lab. Each lecture and each lab make up 1% of your total grade, so if you skip them, it adds up quick.
