Easiest class I have ever taken. All the homework is out of the book which has answers in the back, and the final project was a snooozefest. Went to class at the start, not engaging and the professor just reward from the book.

Great professor! He is willing to help out students struggling from the work (I really do recommend the students to go to his office hour. He explains it so well and kindly). He is considerate. The class itself was also interesting. The workload was average, and the difficulty was also average. Well-structured and organized class overall.
