    jesse was a good lecturer! some of the content was a little bit redundant, however; i wish he just gave less examples and rather explained why they connected more to core class concepts!

    Fairly interesting class with a manageable workload. We had a midterm, a term paper, online ZAPS labs due twice a week, a handful of open-note online quizzes (no time limit), and a final. All exams and assignments were very reasonable and fair.
