Sra is fine, and this class is very easy but you'll be at the mercy of your TA's grading. It's a design class based around group work, so be prepared to lose 10% on an assignment because your TA didn't like where one of your teammates placed a button. The workload is pretty light, but so is the educational value. 90% of the content is common sense.

Class comprised of designing an app in your group in a final. Class is all about design yet all the material in the class is linked through multiple levels of Google Docs and submenus, steering task much? Lectures are useless just cram everything before the final. Final is relatively easy just have to memorize everything but it was really long.

This course is an irony. The course is organized on a google doc... while teaching about good design principles and well-designed applications. The grading is unnecessarily difficult for a course that teaches so much about logical/systematic ideas. The TAs are not helpful either, taking off points with no explanation whatsoever.

You will learn nothing and you will be very happy. Terrible class.

Good professor that knows what they are talking about. The class structure is reliant on group work. It's fun, but also really dependent on how well your group members are. It would be nice if the professor had some independent work to grade so our final result was not based on other student's efforts.

Pretty low-stakes class. More help with unity development for the project would be good, but the TAs are very helpful. There should either be more incentive to learn the lecture material (ie exams/quizzes) or it should be cut out entirely because I hear the content is pretty similar to 185 anyways. It's not clear how the projects will be graded.
