Winter 2022 - Incredibly interesting class. All professors are clearly passionate about the material. There is some disconnect between the professors and their sections of the course. The assignments, quizzes, and tests are somewhat difficult, but if you rewatch lectures (Bruincast!) then you should be fine.
