Winter 2020 - Previous reviews saying he's intolerant and cocky and shit are no longer applicable. Ramesh is a homie. His lectures are awesome and the final was actually interesting (although it was a lot of writing). Grading was super chill (shoutout Carlin), and the readings overall weren't horrible (some were actually really interesting, but the longer ones suck). I would 100% recommend this class, whether you're actually interested or just looking for that ez GE. Big shoutout Bernie Sanders.
