Truthfully, if you're looking for an interesting class to take - this isn't it. The content delivery, imho, is super dry and I struggled to stay awake whenever we were in the lecture hall. Discussions were mandatory attendance, but it was honestly a waste of time. Everyone essentially sat on their phone or laptop the entire time (this depends on your TA though). Once COVID hit, I can't honestly say that I attended a single class. Grading is done by your TA so I can't speak for everyone, but it was pretty much an A for submitting every time. I did have prior experience with Logic / sound design though. After COVID, exams were still closed book but the weight of the exams were lowered immensely. That said, it's not too difficult to study for. He gives you a study guide and if you grind Quizlet for a solid 2 days, you should get a pretty high school.
