    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: N/A

    Tyler was a great TA, but the course is outdated

    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    Tyler is the best TA! Take this class with him if you can. He's very helpful and knowledgeable. Yes, there are lots of issues with this class, including the deprecated software and buggy hardware, but I actually greatly enjoyed taking his lab section.

    All the labs 1-3 are very reasonable and can be done without external help or extra time outside of class. Lab 4 is where you create your own project and can not be completed in time without going to office hours. Be warned: there are huge lines, especially during the last week before the lab is due. People were waiting in the hallways for up to a few hours before Tyler implemented a policy to randomly kick out one lab group every 30 minutes.

    Overall, not too bad, but the whole course is in serious need of a refresher.
