    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    The weekly assignments are graded very harshly and although the TAs have a rubric, they refuse to share it with the students, which makes the assignments super hard. Everything else is pretty simple.

    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    He was a really engaging professor but the TA grades hard (maybe just on us though)
