Fall 2025 - This class is completely dependent on the professor who is teaching it. The cluster changes professor twice in one quarter. Dr. Cleaveland was quite engaging and fun whereas Professor Aravind was extremely boring and confusing. With Cleaveland, his class was quite fun and interesting and the quizzes were very easy to go through. Aravind however made the lectures a chore to go through. However, if you want an easy class with a manageable workload, this class is definitely for you. Most of the professors are quite boring and there is a lot of reading but it is an easy class if that is what you want.
