Incredibly worthwhile course. You'll learn a lot and Grimshaw is an incredibly engaging, fun, and dedicated professor. Just be sure your programming chops (particularly in C/C++) are up to par otherwise you'll fall behind. The concepts you learn are very useful and not found in other courses. The assignments themselves are challenging but very rewarding to complete. I'll advise taking it with a lower course load

Tough tests. Homework problems require reports and those generally knock down your grade until you realize the expectations (make sure to comment your code).
