I highly recommend professor Dale. He is very passionate about the class topic and is an overall cool and funny guy. I took this class to fulfill my comm tech core and I’m so glad I did. We had 2 labs we got to choose, 6 question multiple choice weekly quizzes based on what he covered in lecture and one exam that he provided a study guide for. He provides the readings that are pretty do-able. Originally we were supposed to have two exams but he decided that if you felt good about your midterm, you didn’t need to take the final because he will drop the lowest score. Even if you aren’t a comm major, this class was extremely fair in terms of the content and workload.

Probably my favorite professor at UCLA. Although it's more stem based, Dale is super clear and the class is really friendly to people like me who are kind of scared of computer science stuff. I wanted to take more classes with him but it didn't work out with my schedule haha.

Considering I did not have any coding or computer science experience before this class, I was nervous to take it. That being said, Professor Dale made this class very enjoyable and manageable. This class was comprised of two lab assignments, almost weekly quizzes, and a final project that is pretty open-ended.
