    Jukka was a very good and thorough lecturer. He was also very lenient and adjusted deadlines when people were struggling. The labs were very engaging although could be tricky sometimes.

    This class is super similar to LS30A with Professor Keranen. The only real difference is that you have a group project for the lab that takes up basically the second portion of the quarter in lab section. Pretty easy class overall

    The professor is very chill. Labs get kinda harder but the TA can guide you through it very well. Same format as LS30A. Flipped classroom.
