This class didn't end up being as bad as I expected, the tests were hard but they graded them extremely generously. As long as you study the slides, hw, and possibly the book you should be good to go. The only problem I have is that this professor doesn't believe in end of quarter curves, so you end up with worse grade distributions than I feel are justified for a tech breadth. Personally, I don't understand why the professor feels the need to do this, but he was good at his job, so I have no real complaints beyond that.

Do not take this class. Please save yourselves. It was a 6-8pm Mandatory Attendance on Microsoft Teams class with Mandatory Camera on because he would randomly call on you. I don't know what we learned and I remember the exams were hard.
