ME17 . 9 Months Ago

The majority of this class is a 1/5 in difficulty; the last week is a 5/5, and I did not procrastinate. I was actually ahead. Most of the hw and midterm is very easy, then all of a sudden for the last hw and the final he just goes crazy and makes it far, far harder than anything before in the class. Lectures are boring, and he is hard to hear.

Professor Gibou is a great professor who knows the material well and is always eager to help students as best he can. Class is very homework heavy with midterm and final projects, no exams. Material can be difficult depending on students' prior coding experience but if you work hard to understand it you will both do well and learn the material.

Gibou's not a great lecturer, but if you try hard, you can learn from him. That said, you don't really need to learn to pass this class. Tests were all take-home, and grading was pretty lenient. Generally, if you went to lecture or office hours, he'd give you all the code necessary to complete the assignments.
