This class is difficult and you have to contribute a significant amount of time to do well. That being said it is a very interesting class and Professor Lyles does well at teaching the content in a way that makes it stick. The biggest complaint I had about this class was that the TA's seemed disorganized and there wasn't a lot of consistency between the two TA sections. Overall if you are willing to put in the effort and are okay with a lot of verbal practice (videos, presentations, etc) you will do fine in the class.
