Summer 2020 - This class is a complete waste of our time. The professors aren't the problem, they are actually ok or decent and seem nice. Thank goodness I took this class online because taking this class in-person in the summer would be awful. Also for some reason the discussions are mandatory and its like a second class where you "learn" how to write essays (not technical, essays you'd write in an high school English class) and discuss random ethics concepts. Depending on your TA, you either will leave really early or use the entire session wasting your time. Same goes for grading, hope you get an easy grader. The exams are basically test how well you can memorize the material or use CTRL-F if its online. Don't waste your time studying for these exams if its online or try to find someone who has a copy from before. I highly recommend you take this class with friends, it'll make it more tolerable and you guys can work on essay-reviews and other "things" together. This is an easy class and should be an easy A for everyone, but every assignment takes a lot of time to finish. Expect your time to be wasted in this class and just do the bare minimum.
