If you ever wonder if you should take this course with Humphrey or Shen and you want to actually learn something take it with Humphrey. If you just want to have an easy A, take it with Shen. Her class requires very few brain cells.

This was probably the easiest A in a CS class I've ever gotten. That being said, I didn't get much out of the class. Prof Shen is extremely sweet and she cares about her students a lot; however, the course just sucks in general. The material is uninteresting, the HWs are dumb, and the Programming Assignments (PA) require no programming. (The only cool PA was the Map Reduce one...) If you want the easy A, take it with Shen... but, I strongly advise you take it with Humphrey
