Edward is a really nice professor who takes his time explaining how the lines of code work. He also posts codes that are really similar to the homework, but you do need to do some additional processing to it to make it submittable to the requirements. Even though that may be the case though, don't rely solely on the given scripts. Take the time to learn it, because in the end writing the report that goes along with every homework in addition to the code itself is still hard (as a person who hates coding and has barely had coding experience).

This class is super easy to do well and in my opinion fairly interesting and an applicable skill for engineering. There are biweekly home works that are kind of tedious and pretty irreleavent and weekly lecture exercises that are straight from the lecture slides he posts. The TA is very helpful if you have questions but I honestly stopped attending lab and lecture as the quarter progressed. Most questions you can find the answer to online and you kind of get the hang of solidworks after the first 3-4weeks. There is no final exam but a final project to build a 3d rubberband propelled car that was kinda fun. Theres not a ton of instruction so you can be relatively creative. However the report is kind of annoying. Unfortunately one of my groupmates did not participate at all in the report so it was more work than normal, having good groupmates makes it much easier and he honestly grades the report very fairly. I would recommend taking this class with him and am planning on taking MATLAB next quarter with him.
