Swami doesn't really do much to make his Powerpoint lectures interesting, but he does let his 75 minute classes out early quite often. I would take good notes so you don't have to hunt for little important points in the textbook/slides during the exams (all exams are take-home over about 2 days). And definitely don't hesitate to send him an email with a test question--some of them weren't very descriptive or confusing. All said it's a quite interesting and decently easy class.

Good course. All homework and tests are straight-forward. He's a nice professor.

Really easy class as long as you understand it. I got an A. Swami is really helpful if you go to office hours a few times.
