Winter 2016 - Great class! Professor Maoz is very funny and engaging. The class is kind of demanding because you have to learn a new programming language in only 10 weeks. There is no midterm or final for this class. Every week you have to turn in a homework and in the beginning of lecture there is a quiz. Each quiz and HW are worth 7 point and best 7 out of 9 (you have quizzes and HWs for 9 weeks cause week 1 is just lecture) count toward your grade. The last 2 points are for turning in at least 7 HW and quizzes. There is one group project thats a big chunk of your grade but it's very reasonable. Overall, I definitely recommend taking this class.
