    Quarter Taken: Winter 2024 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    This class is pretty easy if you do all of the homeworks and discussion worksheets, both of which are manageable. Hauser follows the textbook fairly closely and posts his lecture notes, so you can follow those if you prefer that method of learning.
