Class was super simple. No classwork, no homework, 2 tests(mid term + final) both worth 50% of your grade. Possible extra credit if you participate a lot.

Tests are partly from lecture, partly from the textbook, very straight forward.

I only went to the first lecture, the mid term, and the final.

I took it P/NP but would have been a B+ if i took it for a grade. You have to be a special kind of moron to fail this class.

Pretty easy class, but lots of material and anything is up for testing. He gives "study hints" which kind of gear you towards the tested topics... but not really. I didn't use the textbook at all, and while there are a lot of concepts in the "7 Principles" book, I didn't read that at all either. All the important information is on his slides. BUT sometimes his slides are kind of unclear so it still helps to go to class.

There are three group debates that were pretty chill and a nice way to process the course information. There was also a big extra credit opportunity, at least when I took this class. Tests aren't super easy but I believe the class gets curved.
