Not the most enjoyable class. There's a lot of mindless reading with a few quizzes. There's one test towards the end of the semester; the professors say it will be based on both the lecture slides and the readings. Fortunately, the questions are pretty much solely on the lectures; do not waste your time with the readings, just focus on what's on Collab. The majority of your time for this class will be spent on a project you and your groupmates get to choose. It's rewarding in the end, although there are a large number of documents due for it. Keep tabs of when stuff is due, otherwise they will take a really long time. Lastly, make sure that you really try to get a lot done on your project during the beginning and middle of the semester; there's a lot more due at the end.

Every year there is a quiz after the first reading of the semester. There are readings for every class but very few pop quizzes (between 1 and 3 each semester), so if you do well on the first one, you'll likely be set.

The midterm isn't too bad, and they let you bring in a note card with terms you don't remember.

The group project is a pain. Sorta similar to the 201 project. Hope that you get a good group.

There is a reading assignment for each class, and there are 2 or 3 random reading quizes, so watch out for those. There is one final exam that is taken the week before Thanksgiving that is on the reading, so if you haven't done the reading all semester (which you can get away with for the most part) then you will have some catching up to do. Big projects that are fairly arbitrary are what the class is focused on.

This class is pretty hard, especially the tests. Memorize all the diagrams they give you. All of them. Seriously. Pick a good group for the semester project, because you will want to die if you don't.

I hated this class. Guerlain just pissed everybody off and Gerling spent most of his time fixing Guerlain's mistakes and outbursts.

The TA was horrible. Also, the class was pretty sucky too. Grading is arbitrary and the workload is high.

The class isn't hard but the group work is extremely time consuming. The professors are very particular about how the project was done. The classwork and tests were not difficult.

This class was very tedious. The work (homeworks and test) was not particularly difficult and didn't take too much time. The group work, on the other hand, took very long if you wanted to do well. It is a good idea to stay on top of your group and make sure things get done early.

The material is important to learn, though, so it is a very worthwhile class overall.

Homeworks can take a long time to do and are ojectively graded harshly. The TA was a jerk and not helpful. The semester project requires coding knowledge so get someone in your group who knows how to code because the class doesnt teach you any coding. Do the best you can on the project so your group doesnt screw you over in the final group evaluation.

very interesting and enjoyable class
