Most Helpful Review
Fall 2024 - We were given plenty of time for each homework assignment, which is great because each assignment was 15% of our grade. The midterm was difficult and mostly reflected the lecture materials, but some questions seemed unrelated to the lecture topics. It has been taking a very long time to receive our grades back, which is difficult because we don't know where we stand in the class and the final is in a week! It was difficult/slow to get a response from the TA or professor for help with the homework assignments. A sample midterm and final was provided but was not representative of the difficulty of the exam at all.
