Most Helpful Review
Spring 2026 - She changed to recorded (visual also) for the lectures this quarter which was great. A lot of repetition in the slides; good for review but also felt like this course was stretched out in some areas. Projects were all right, TAs could be fairly critical in some areas but if you completed it, usually it would be fine. Homeworks were also relatively okay, with some derivation work being the hardest stuff in my opinion, so not bad. Final was pretty fair all things considered. Kind of long but not too bad either. Discussions were usually more on content review, so skippable unless you also had something to ask about projects.
