Summer 2025 - Professor Bozorgnia was a great lecturer. He emphasizes everything that he quizzes on and there’s absolutely no surprises come test day. Homework’s are really short and straightforward and the final is exactly like the quizzes. Very solid class, easy to do well. Lectures aren’t mandatory but they’re sometimes pretty interesting and I’d say worth going to.
