Most Helpful Review
Fall 2017 - I do not recommend this course. Elective classes should be engaging and interesting - not overwhelming and harder than the required core courses. The workload was ridiculous, which was made up of weekly hw assignments, 2 exams (week 5 and week 9), and a very intensive group project (2-3 people). The exams, by the way, were not easy - MC, T/F, and free response. The group project consisted of 2 presentations (briefing about 10 min, and a final presentation about 20 min), a written report of 20 pages long, and a peer review submission. Do not take this course if you are looking for an interesting and/or easier elective.
