Winter 2022 - I loved the professor and TA (Lee) for this class! They are so laid back and understanding and since the class is so small, the communication is stellar. Professor Jeon is so sweet and funny and really tries to get to know her students. The class is really manageable; weekly homework (usually 4-6 problems, coding + lecture questions), and the content might be a little confusing sometimes but Jeon always tries to explain a million different ways if needed. Great class overall!
