    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    The instructor was really clear. The homeworks could be tricky because we aren't given the cases that are tested by the graders, but the exams were all fair.

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

    I found the class to be a nice introduction to coding, but homeworks tended to be fairly difficult and took a lot of time. However, the tests were fairly manageable.
