Fall 2023 - This was such a fun and relevant class! Prof Gao updated the content and slides to keep up with current trends (Sag-aftra strike, chatgpt updates, etc) and all the homeworks were enjoyable and easy. The midterms and finals require a bit of review, but if you go to all the lectures you should be fine. Prof also uses class time to answer any questions before the exams and tells you what will/won't be on the final.
