I took this dude course fall. First of all, there nothing new on his lecture. Everything in his slides . He just read them to you. Secondary which is major problem. This design course has to be learn from his mouth. It means you need keeping asking questions. Especially project. He has his own evaluation on how you learn. Lots of project content not from textbook or lecture. But the problem is that he doesn’t want you to waste his time. So you better to ask good question otherwise no answer. The project has 5 increments 4 people a group very time consuming. TA is useless in this class, cause they won’t answer your question which was the strickly order from him. Midterm is easy but I was screwed by them. The final was really hard. Last thing he appeal to friendly, he was not. If you have to take it , then take it and prepare your grade drop a lot, otherwise choose other design course
