just watch all the lectures and you will be fine, and don’t run out of time on the tests since you can’t go back
Great class and an awesome professor. There are 3 exams in total non-cumulative. Make sure to make other questions from the practice exams when studying.
Professor Trott was a great lecturer. I found the concepts pretty repetitive over time, but the content was at least well explained. He offered open-note exams, but they were more application-based. He also doesn't round grades up. I recommend taking thorough notes on everything he says during lecture, so you can use them during the exam. He also offers a short answer bonus question immediately after each exam.
Definitely have to work for an A but doable
