Fall 2025 - I found this class to be quite challenging, but I also found that consistent effort - especially when it came to understanding the graphs - made a significant difference in my performance. Dr. Sokolich is an excellent professor and was always incredibly helpful. Additionally, Piazza is a valuable resource for this course; questions posted there are typically answered quickly, whether by Dr. Sokolich or fellow students. Overall, I would take this class again. My advice to future students would be to focus on learning the terminology and graph interpretations early on, as that foundation goes a long way throughout the course.
