by Christopher B. on February 17, 2025
I must admit this was very challenging
by Erin B. on February 17, 2025
Difficult but doable class. Since you are basically writing the same paper from the first milestone, it would be nice if the same grader was with you throughout. The graders didn't get to see the progress of the paper from beginning to end.
by Emma H. on February 17, 2025
mostly great class! The terminology chapters/sections were certainly easier for me to understand, because the ones with more math were explained kind of disjointedly. We'd get a lot of wording and explaining, but I think it could have benefited from a couple more examples, just my personal preference (for math)

Great
