Fall 2024 - Honestly I can barely tell you a thing I learned in this class but somehow I pulled off a grade I am happy with and didn't struggle too much along the way. Prof. is extremely kind, funny, and means well... just did not learn much likely given I took the 101 series before the 100 or 102 which is my own fault. You don't have to go to class, but I did since he only posts unannotated slides. Anyways breakdown is as follows: 30% homework (5x 6% each) - coding of class concepts I did in python 40% midterm - in person exam consisting of multiple choice, true/false, short answer, proofs, general problems 30% final project - ours was on NBA data, pretty cool but can be tough with a random group if you don't know people in the class I definitely recommend to take since he grades off of class rank which obvi is how I got a decent grade despite struggling on the midterm (0-10% A+, 10-30% A, 30-70% A-, 70-80% B+, 80-90% B, 90-100% B- or lower). Plus you will have some good laughs along the way if you go to class.
