great class, step by step process on what to do. Light workload
This is a pretty basic prereq. The lectures are basically just record instructions about the assignments you do in sections. The TA is super helpful and is always down to help if you have questions. There is like a big quiz thing, but you get multiple attempts and can ask the TA for help after the first attempt. Overall not terrible, but theres still a decent amount of time and work that goes into the class. I would def recommend starting on the weekly assignment before lab but even if you don't you will still be fine(I almost never did, but it was always better when I did).
