    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Rombes provided clear lectures on the materials. The slides are pulled from the textbook, so if a concept feels unclear, you can reference the textbook. The midterms and finals are directly pulled from the lecture slides and homework. While the labs feel tedious, they are graded on completion. I feel that I learned something from the class.
